Is using Subversion really so bad?
Until pretty recently tools like git, hg, bzr didn't exist. Now one of those is looking abandoned in its own right.
Switching repos and tools isn't trivial, and really if the tool is free software and works across common OSs, I really don't see the problem. DVCS doesn't have to work for everyone.
- Sir_Cmpwn 12y agoNo, using subversion isn't that bad. It's the rest of ImageMagick's workflow that was bad. SVN was just the cherry on top.
- spacemanmatt 12y agoNow that I have used git for a while, SVN makes me want to throw things. It's a turd. Whether you use git for dvcs or simple local versioning, it is all-around better. Unless you're just done learning new things. I understand that some people are done learning new things.
