Didn't we had the lock based model when a lot of software development was using svn earlier on?
I also still experience it on Wiki edits, and for office document management systems.
My experience there is that it works for a tiny amount of users, but once you start hitting the lock things get painful.
- waste_monk 5y agoYep, Subversion was definitely better than "copy of project 2 copy 3 FINAL", but it doesn't compare favourably to git. Although that said I did used to play a game where a community mod pack was delivered via SVN - you'd simply check out the repo into your mods folder and everything just worked, and updating became trivial. This was a fair while ago before Git LFS was mainstream and SVN had better large file support (as in many files in the hundreds of megabytes per each, not multi-gig assets - this was in the era post dialup but while residential "broadband" speeds were still quite slow).
