← Back to context

After years of using git I got back to svn.

Svn has one great feature, you can checkout (clone) repo partially.

This way I can keep all my experiments in a single remote repo and easily pull any part of any project locally wherever I want.

I don't really care about branching in svn. If I want to try variants of some code I still use git with multiple branches.

I'm not sure what I would prefer for a team project. I'm sure svn got decent merging.

That's definitely not my experience. SVN has merging, but I've found it extremely frustrating in a team context.
