Try Mercurial. It's mental model maps more directly to SVN.

I have successfully taught it to people like CEO's and CTO's with very little difficulty.

The problem with Git is that it has 3 areas of state (working-index-repo) instead of 2 (working-repo).

That makes things HORRIBLY complicated for the 99% of useful use cases.

+ there are nice tools like RhodeCode to work with Mercurial repositories.
