> What has git so fundamentally changed that SVN/CVS don't count as knowledge / experience?

I think git (and other distributed source control systems) changed the culture around branching and forking. So, if you're coming from a CVS world, there is a lot of technology that changed, and the technology changed the culture/methodology.

I.e., if you dropped a CVS user from 1996 into today's world, they would have culture shock, not just a new technology to learn.
