using SHA-1 hash.. Perhaps Mercurial or Bazaar is better, then Git for
ros, but i'm sure that, git is much better for ros, than svn.

If you can only offer TortoiseGit for native use, then I'm not sold. Because of the performance problems I experience with it, and the fact I prefer the command line clients over the Tortoise extensions, Git will never be a choice of mine. I suspect there are others that prefer the command line client over the Tortoise extensions as well.
