| Oct 6, 2015 at 5:42 | comment | added | doug | closed because "opinion-based"? i'll have to just concede defeat here--i'm just unable to successfully navigate through the mods' scylla and charybdis of "opinion-based--closed" and "RTFM" (aka "let me google that for you"). Seems to me those two constraints, broadly interpreted as they are, can be used to toss out just about any question on any given day. | |

| Nov 18, 2013 at 12:46 | comment | added | Izkata | Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience - A perfect description of most of the answers here. I don't understand why it was closed, either - be critical of the bad answers, don't punish the questions for bad answers. Can't wait until I can VTRO... | |
| Nov 18, 2013 at 10:28 | comment | added | Eamon Nerbonne | This question was recently put on hold as primarily opinion based. That classification is wrong; note that the question was open for a long time; that there are many questions about the virtues of DVCS, and that the question doesn't ask whether it's better (opinion), but what it does better. The differences are not opinion but whether the overall product is - that's tricky (but not the point of this question). | |

| Jan 7, 2013 at 14:22 | comment | added | Alicja Kario | @mmmshuddup: In git, creating a patch series, going back to it, editing a second commit in 5 commit series and creating a new set of patches is easy. With svn is basically impossible (you need to use external tools). If you have proper code review (and only few people can push to upstream) it's a godsend. I'd still use it as an interface to SVN if it was the only feature it had. | |

| Nov 9, 2012 at 8:13 | comment | added | Cheung | I thought SVN still good to use, the learning curve is good then GIT. | |
| Sep 24, 2012 at 20:41 | comment | added | bought777 | I've always thought Git was highly over-esteemed. It's a fad, and programmers are not impervious to fads - despite the many oppositions to this thought. Like everyone else in this world, everyone wants the shiny new toy (Git). Git may be good - or even great to some people - but it's never been better than SVN when thinking objectively. | |

| Jun 5, 2012 at 22:17 | comment | added | stmax | Much better UI (TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN rock when you work with Windows) | |
| Jun 5, 2012 at 17:12 | comment | added | tehnyit | @maaartinus I'm sure that you could use SVN via local operations as well. :-) | |

| Sep 30, 2011 at 20:59 | comment | added | maaartinus | @jokoon: Efficient in terms of what? Surely not speed since even fast Ethernet is slow compared to local operations. | |
| Sep 30, 2011 at 20:49 | comment | added | jokoon | I guess one of the main point you can make is that SVN is much more efficient in a local network. | |
