Branches.
- tasuki 7y agoBranches in SVN are such a pain! If I recall correctly, creating a branch in SVN consists of making a full copy of everything (remotely, usually). In Git, creating a new branch consists of creating a new pointer to an existing commit.
- _ph_ 7y agoYes, branches look like full copies, but they are sparse copies. So only any changed data on the branch gets actually stored in the repository.
- taco_emoji 7y agoThat's basically all it is in SVN as well... And of course it's remote, every action in SVN is remote since it's centralized (except for shelving).
