Because from a checkout of a git repository, you can have multiple
references to misc branches:
Ie, you can say "please, get me the change from this branch"
or "this time, the trunk".

To be more pragmatic, svn is what ? 5 commands ?
$ svn add 
$ svn remove
$ svn checkout (once!)
$ svn commit
$ svn update

(ok, svn diff & svn log but for power user).

With git, the commands become:
$ git add
$ git rm
$ git clone
$ git commit -a 
$ git pull

You need these commands to do the same as SVN.
