I worked with SVN briefly as it was out of fashion by the time I entered the workforce, but one thing I remembered about SVN was that there was a lack of standardisation between the clients.
I created the project using tortoiseSVN and any time a team member tried to add to it using a different client than tortoiseSVN it'd corrupt the entire repository!
- mkbosmans 5y agoThat doesn't sound right. Actual corruption of the repository can happen, but not by simply using another client than your team members. May be you mean something more alike commiting non-standard line endings? That can easily happen in git too, e.g. when the .gitattributes is different between worktrees.
- scoopertrooper 5y agoMay have been the case, it was about a decade ago now! Somehow tortoiseSVN solved those issues, perhaps they had some smarts to normalise the line endings? In any event, I've never had a git repo become corrupted in such a way after many years of continuous usage, but SVN seemed to fall over in a light breeze.
