Because Linus had more clout in the SE industry than anyone else and said “SVN bad” and nobody wanted to do enough research to disprove him so here we are. Merging in Subversion is a complete disaster. The Subversion people kind of acknowledge this and they have a plan and their plan sucks, too. It is incredible how stupid these people are.

There's a few of them in the room today, I suspect. You're stupid. (Crowd laughs) Nobody is interest in branching. Branches are completely useless unless you merge them. https://sandeep.ramgolam.com/blog/linus-torvalds-talks-about-git-at-google#genuine https://sandeep.ramgolam.com/blog/linus-torvalds-talks-about...
