    Yeah - the decentralized nature isn’t that big of a deal, most people treat it like it’s centralized anyway…

    The most amazing thing about git was they way they track changes (file contents rather than names) which allows it to branch and merge almost effortlessly. Search for “SVN Tree Conflict” for an example of what I’m talking about. Oh, you renamed a file that you modified on a branch? Your life is hell now.

          It’s still around, Git compatible and all. I have fond memories using it with svn on a small startup as our development hub back in the day.

      Fuck the acronym “SVN” rings a bell and I know I’ve used it somewhere, but I can’t for the life of me remember and now it’s killing me, lol
