Aug 5, 2019 at 16:54 comment added Erik Aronesty @WarrenT a single developer pushing to a single feature branch and pushing a pull req, and then merging to master can and will get conflicts nearly every time if they forget to pull before working again. for simple workflows git can seem insane and thats why it breaks brains. even for many devs.. as long as there's a central master everyone is pull-req to, git comes up with bizarre conflicts for no easily discernible reason.

Nov 16, 2013 at 15:10 comment added Warren P Tree conflicts? Check. Yes or no to all options? No. Svn is designed to infuriate. Clean working copy command? No. Revert cannot clean unversioned files.
Aug 30, 2012 at 23:23 comment added WarrenT "Better" tools / front-ends, that's a moving target. Tools improve on both sides. None of us know what tools will be available several years from now. That assessment 10 months ago might easily change over time, and might be stale now. I would prefer to see substantive answers.
Aug 30, 2012 at 23:17 comment added WarrenT Doesn't break your brain? Wanna teach me how to easily merge branches with conflicts in SVN?
