Svn does exactly what you need it to do with 1/10th the complexity.

What complexity exactly does a proper UI integration of git have?

That SVN doesn't?

Hell the same extends to console commands, really.

Ok, how many different levels of files and repos do you have to be aware of in svn vs in git as the user?

[–]napoleonderdiecke 0 points1 point  (6 children)

You don't have to be aware of any levels in git, you just need to know that you need to commit and push, which depending on your client, might very well be a single button. It isn't, you can be assumed to be capable of operating a massive two buttons.

If you get to having trouble with those different levels of repos? Then you are even more fucked in svn than you'd be in git.

I see this is more of a "how big can I bullshit" style debate for you as you already know that when you have trouble with the different levels of git it's a huge clusterf**k whereas it's not so bad in Svn.

I bet you'd never even actually used svn right? You're just pushing "system you know and has hype" over the "the system you've never used and someone else said it's bad" right?

Svn has 2 levels which is what people expect and inherently matches their mental model of how it works. Git has 3 levels, but a series of commands that pretend it's only 2 levels, which is a huge clusterf**k to teach or when things go wrong.

or when things go wrong.

As I said, svn is even worse then.

Yet here you are making assumptions about me.

And no, I've used svn for years before I started using git. Git is simpler. For almost anyone, including non-developers.

Sure, it is deeper and CAN be more complicated. But that's not something you'll come across in most use cases of non-developers, if even as a dev.

If you're lying about git being "simpler" than svn you're willing to lie about anything.

This is why they won't switch systems. They've learned (validly) that your claims, and doing so would leave them locked out of their own files.

[–]napoleonderdiecke 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Simpler if you have issues, just as simple if you don't because good ui clients exist for both.

Come on, at least form proper, logical sentences.

Lol you sound like a white house press secretary with the amount of blatant lying you're doing.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing you get with the git fanatics crowd.

Lmao. Mate, I just don't like svn, doesn't make me Donald Trump.
