it's not about religion - nineties are over.
a distributed vcs gives anyone a complete repository.
beside being much more convenient (offline work, cryptographical
history, backup, ..) it is much faster. beside git is top on non-linear
development.

1.5.4 git is about to be released and has a better gitk and git gui
the windows port is work in progress pushed by an austrian telecom guy

git svn
due to historical questions debian-kernel is managed with subversion.
i routinely commit it with git svn, although i hope that a move will
be done (branching differs quite a bit and is thus a pain, but linear
development on it works).

you commit them locally and then push the changes.
and yes certain repos do not necessarily need to be seen on gitweb,
you have explicitly to allow the bare repo to be seen.
