I'm old enough to have used CVS, SVN and then a bit of git.
I remember the big selling point to go from CVS to SNV was "you can put binaries in there!" ... which we never did.
And now I see the selling point to go from SNV to Git is "you can do really complicated stuff like rebase".... which we've never done.
For a team who just does run of the mill distributed version control stuff (commits, diffs, blame, conflict resolution), can you explain why git is such a huge benefit over SVN?
- gitaarik 3y agoSVN doesn't do very good conflict resolution. It especially becomes more of a problem when you have multiple people working on several branches, that might want to merge some of each other's work. Apart from this, git also came with many more advanced features that improves branch and history management.
