Any project, even if it’s a hobby project, will eventually require the dev team (which could be one person) to work on two things at once. Then you have to merge, and at some point you will encounter merge conflicts. | |

Merging back his own feature branch into his own master maybe, but any code he receives from his boss would rather go in a new commit, no? I have no experience with SVN though, only git. | |

| Jun 8, 2013 at 0:42 | comment | added | cHao | I'm starting to as well. I wouldn't with SVN...but with Git, it's so easy to create and manage a repo without even dealing with a server, that it's getting harder to justify not saying git init the second you start working on something. | |
