The closer two things are to each other, the more they fight. Like the Hells Angels vs Bandidos, or the Bloods vs the Crips. I mean, coming as someone who is not involved in any crime, it would seem reasonable that the Hells Angels should battle the Crips, seeing as they totally represent different things. But no, they go fight the people closest to them.
What I'm trying to say is that Git is like the Hells Angels, Mercurial is like the Bandidos, and SVN is like the Crips. Microsoft Visual Source Safe is like MC Hammer.
- trafficlight 17y agoSo, are you saying that Visual Source Safe is too legit to quit?
- Lazlo_Nibble 17y agoI think he's saying that when we use Visual SourceSafe, we got to pray // just to make it today.

- pavel_lishin 17y agoI figured the reason would be competition for a similar niche.
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoEven Microsoft don't use VSS any more, they push TFS.
- mistermann 17y agoI don't think MS ever did use VSS...from what I remember, they used a modified version of.....Mercurial?? Or maybe something else. Can someone else can be more specific?
- dmnd 17y agoA modified version of Perforce called Source Depot.
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoFor large installations (e.g. the NT4, Win95. office codebase) they did not use VSS. But that was way before Mercurial's time.
