more detailed spoiler:
Subversion exists to be universally recognized and adopted as an open-source, centralized version control system characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.
A shorter, business-card-sized motto might be: "Enterprise-class centralized version control for the masses".
- njharman 17y agoYeah, and I'm fine with that. I'm so against the notion that every tool has to have all the feature/act like every other tool. DVCS vs CVCS, vim vs IDE, etc. A variety of tools focused on different strengths is a great thing. A bunch of me-also's is not.
- umjames 17y agoAll I can say is thank goodness I can use Git with Subversion without anyone being the wiser. Local feature branches are one of the godsends of DVCS.
- vlisivka 17y agoYeah. But it is hard to send local branch to review to other team members when Subversion is used on the project. We use Savana to add proper branches to Subversion. Tool lacks polishing, but it is helpful. It is simple to use: you can create private branch, sync your private branch with parent branch, and promote your private branch to parent branch ( http://savana.codehaus.org/gettingstarted.html http://savana.codehaus.org/gettingstarted.html ). It is not a git replacement, of course.
