I'd even put this somewhat more bluntly.  My two-step advice on
switching from svn to git is:

1) forget *everything* you know from SVN
2) learn git as usual

I don't hang out on IRC as much any more, so maybe it got better.  But
90%[*] of SVN convert's problems seem to stem from some preconceived
notions they carried over from SVN.

Such as, "HEAD is the newest commit".  Or the whole centralized
vs. distributed you mentioned.
