"Subversion encourages a simple central repository model, discouraging large scale branching. In an environment that's using Continuous Integration, which is how most of my friends like to work, that model fits reasonably well. As a result Subversion is a good choice for most environments."
...using continuum you can just plug in a POM with a git connector and no trouble with CI and git...
- j_baker 17y agoNotice he said that svn is a good choice. Not necessarily the best choice though.
- keefe 17y agoTrue enough, I just feel like scm and ci are relatively orthogonal issues
- easp 17y agoI think you missed the point, which is that Subversion discourages branching, which is fine, because most of the people he knows do CI. His point is not that you can't do CI with GIT.
- keefe 17y agoMy point was that I don't see how the two are related - if you're building off a branch you can still write a pom that builds your particular branch and the rest of the trunk code and gives you all the benefits of CI.
