Wow that TortoiseSVN in context menu is a blast from the past!
Looks like it's still under active development. Is SVN still being used in some industries? I know it used to be big in gamedev but I would have expected everyone to have moved on by now.
- Sweepi 2y agoTortoiseSVN (+Winmerge as diff tool) still is my go-to for non-programmers. If the person groks the windows explorer, TortoiseSVN just makes everything better and nothing worse. Log/History, Blame, Add, Update, ..: everything of importance is in the context menu. Also the trunk/stable model is more intuitive then "everybody has a branch and then there are merges, and merges of merges....". Did show it to lawyer and he got it in an hour.
- hermitcrab 2y agoI still use TortoiseSVN. I have run my own 1-man software company for the last 20 years and don't see any advantage in switching to Git or similar.
- mrcomplicated 2y agoSVN is used in the movies industry as far as I can remember. Especially 3d artists use this for synchronizing their models.
- dazzawazza 2y agoIt's still used with Unreal Engine when people don't want to pay the Perforce tax. Although most of the "hip young kids" waste their time with git+lfs the people actually getting work done on LARGE projects still rely on Subversion... and probably tortoise.
