Question Why the use of SVN?

I'm just wondering on why SVN is still being used for bot version control and what the possibility is of moving to git or something of the sort.
Maybe it's too ingrained into the process, maybe it works better with the tools in place already. Changing VCS is hard as well, I'm just wondering the reasons for sticking with SVN. I remember that's what Powerbot used back in the day.

The idea is that SVN is more foolproof, because of the high number of rookie developers making use of the platform to release bots.

I find it much easier to branch and do merge operations in git. As I like to do alot of dev with lots of different branches, git facilitates this alot better. Also I'm more familiar with the command line tools it provides

then just tell them to always commit to master if they don't know what they're doing lol.

I'm just imagining my branch structure as master for all bots, a main stable branch for each bot and then dev branch(es) off of the stable branch.
