- dschobel 17y agoyep, they did it in 2008: http://github.com/blog/31-back-to-subversion http://github.com/blog/31-back-to-subversion. they amended the post since then: While this post was made in jest originally, head over to Announcing SVN Support to see that we have really, truly built this functionality into GitHub. Come on guys and gals, we’re not going to make the same April Fools joke twice, that’s just lazy :-)
- pjhyett 17y agoWe didn't anticipate hiring someone as dangerously insane as Scott Chacon willing to actually build this for us :) To answer the other question below, we will be rolling out write support in the future. The idea that millions of SVN users can start using GitHub with zero effort is a really big deal for us.
