It's already there. The git porcelain can do almost anything. If you were so inclined you could write a fake svn command that translated all those calls to git.

svn add = git add svn update = git pull svn commit = git commit -a && git push

I'm fairly convinced that the reason everyone thinks git is hard is because they're introduced to too much of it too quickly.

git /is/ easy. It's more powerful, so there are more knobs, but if you don't want to use those knobs - don't.
