It depends upon how SVN is used, and for the team I'm on, it's going to be painful. SVN allows you to checkout a subdirectory of any given repository, and because of our history, we have everything my team writes (10 programs) in two repositories, with a lot of sharing between the two repos. This is something that is ... not easy ... to replicate with git [1]. As far as Macs go, the company I worked for was 50/50 Mac/Windows, with the majority (if not outright all) of the developers using Macs. We got bought out, and our new corporate overlords were purely Windows, and didn't know what to do about our Macs. Personally, I ended up with a fully manged Windows laptop that I never used [2] for three years before I could send it back and send me a "semi-managed" Mac laptop. As for Jira, eh. I didn't mind it that much, except when management mandated that every team use the same queue for everything. That queue didn't match our preferred method of working, so we kept our old queue purely for internal stuff. Our time tracking system is way worse than Jira by far. [1] Not to say I love SVN---I hate it actually, and would prefer to use git. But having used SVN for over a decade on these two repos, and given their structure, it's going to be interesting. [2] Except to turn it on to have it autoupdate when I got "the email". What a colossal waste of resources. My team kept on using the Macs.
