I read it as Moral of the story: don't switch from SVN unless you have good reason OR small team with not a lot of commits.

- urschrei 15y agoThe moral of any story involving SVN is: "Switch from SVN".

- Semiapies 15y agoIndeed. SVN is far from the worst source control system out there, and even as we move on to better once, it's pointedly the system that got a lot of coders into using source control.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoI certainly like SVN's status as a "better CVS", and from that perspective they succeeded nicely. If nothing else, SVN has a much saner repository structure that makes it possible to migrate to a modern version control system, whereas the tools for migrating a CVS repository involve huge pain and sometimes guesswork, depending on how heavily people manually hacked the repo's RCS files and how deeply they used CVS's awful branching.
- nupark2 15y agoIt's not even a given that git is better than subversion for most non-OSS centralized development use cases.
