I started with CVS, and it made complete sense to me. Git isn't bad, but it's what I use these days.
For some reason, I never grokked svn. Something about the use of directories as versions always threw me for a loop. Maybe if I spent the time to really learn it I'd like it, but that isn't likely to happen these days.
- wvenable 3y agoSubversion didn't use directories as versions, it used them for branches. For versions, subversion is like using git with a monorepo. Every commit is a new version across the whole repository. It was a simple and clever design but it's hard to argue for it when compared distributed nature of git and its ubiquity.
