The author mentions that SVN is going to have branching. Users have had the ability to use branches in SVN via SVK for over a decade. Thats not the reason we switched to git. We switched to git because it made more sense and worked better, because every operation was faster in git, and because the development of the project was sure to progress. Github became popular years after git was already spreading.

>Github became popular years after git was already spreading. That's technically true, but the implication is not. There was less than three years between the launches of git and GitHub. While git was becoming popular, it was just one of several (D)VCS solutions. GitHub is what really separated it from the rest of the pack.
