Umm... fuck no.
There is no reason that you can't use git as a master repository system--that's how most people treat GitHub anyway.
OTOH if you want to do anything besides the basic commit or update with Subversion, it's ridiculously difficult. Subversion is a SCM tool where people actually prefer to merge manually rather than deal with its conflict handler.
- marcuskaz 13y agoI agree most people do use Git as a master repository system, so why deal with the extra complexity and just use Subversion. It will save you a command on every commit, no need to commit and then push.
- MetaCosm 13y agoBecause git is significantly faster, better at merging, allows cheap private branching and private changes (don't have to do everything in public just to have version control), allows staging of changes, allows offline work, allows "out of band" collaboration between developers, is up to 30x smaller repos (mozilla), more redundant (everyone has full history)... (more)
- hamburglar 13y ago"save you a command on every commit"? If the number of commands you type is your inverse measure of productivity, then ok, more power to you.
