Subversion bashing

Jedes Tool hat seine Vor- und Nachteile. So auch subversion.

• It’s time to stop using Subversion by Richard Fine

Die Gründe die er aufführt sind nicht von der Hand zu weisen, aber dies als Grund zu nehmen es nicht mehr zu verwenden finde ich ein wenig übertrieben.

Since learning about the existence of source control systems about 8 years ago, I’ve always chosen Subversion for projects: it’s free, better than CVS, widely used and documented, and doesn’t completely suck. I’ve used other systems at times, as required by particular projects – notably SourceSafe (which is worse than Subversion) and Perforce (which is better, but costly) – but none of them were quite sufficient to pull me away from Subversion as a simple, obvious choice for all of my own projects.
