First of all, learn subversion first: it's the future.
Whenever I hear someone say "Use XXX, it's the future", I think "there's a quack selling vaporware as snake oil".

Usually, when I look at using a piece of software, I have a problem I need to solve now - I don't need something that will solve my problems at some unspecific time in the future.

If you want to pitch subversion, sell it on its merits. "It's the future" is meaningless.
