> Tell me, in your career, how many times have you seen companies switch source control tools? Twice. Once from CVS to SVN (where people started using SVN for new projects and left existing projects in CVS). And once from SVN to git where we used tools to get the SVN history into git. > who really needs commit history from 15 years ago? It really depends on how old the code is. I've worked on code that was last deployed close to a decade ago and some of the git blame output was showing commit dates from 2008 (not quite 15 years ago). Unfortunately, the commit messages left something to be desired and didn't really help in terms of figuring out what the issue was). > I loved digging through commit history on code that originally was tracked via RCS on a (at the time) ~15 year old code base. And that was about 15 years ago. I'm getting old lol! Same here. I never got to use RCS at work, though I learned about it in school :)
