I'm facing a similar situation, but my coworker is suggesting SVN. Should I go along or is there any good reason to start right away with git/mercurial?

- Ixiaus 16y agoIf your organization is using SVN stick to SVN because your learning curve will be easier (rather than trying to learn two differen VCS systems). Otherwise, I highly suggest Mercurial; it "just works", has a powerful feature set, and I like bitbucket.org better than github :) The debate between bzr, hg (Mercurial), and git can become religious because all the tools are good.
- lenni 16y agoI use Mercurial for my personal one-person projects, too. It does its job well and is very easy to use.
- pingswept 16y agoSVN will work great as long as everyone trusts each other and gets along. In my experience, the biggest problems with SVN are interpersonal. There are other problems too, but control of the source in a big company becomes political fast.
