He is correct, Subversion WILL linger on in the corporate world for a decade at least. We're still using CVS where I work. We branch and merge every change we make and management still considers SVN to be 'immature,' never mind Git.
Companies just can't let go of legacy systems. That's why we still have companies running Cobol systems on OpenVMS. The term 'legacy' sometimes means permanent.
- umjames 19y agoYou're right. We use CVS at work, but I'm the only one who uses it the way it was meant to be used. I've seen my co-workers, boss, and the consultants we've hired check in output files as well as source files and make commits with no comments. Forget branching, merging, and tagging. Unfortunately, in IT departments, you cannot assume people know anything about source control, even in 2008. All I can say is thank god I don't have to touch their CVS modules, and thank god they don't touch mine!
