You have to maintain a full copy of the file tree locally per branch, it's a pain that gets worse as your project size grows. With git, switching between branches is near instantaneous.
- hp50g 14y agoIt is in svn as well (200mb wc switch = 4 seconds).
- zevyoura 14y agoI worked in an environment with a significantly larger repository, and svn switches were a constant source of frustration.
- banachtarski 14y agosorry but that is a very long time. Branching is something I do dozens, if not hundreds, of times a day (creating, checking out, deleting, etc). svn doesn't fit the sane modern workflow and everything it does can be done by git in a less painful manner. I think the only use case I can think of for svn is a very binary heavy repo that needs global locking.
