Practical Reasons To Choose Git Or Subversion?

markmcb writes "I develop Rails applications and recently followed my lemming herd and made the switch to Git after learning some of the practical advantages Git offers over Subversion. As I'm sure there are many die-hard Subversion fans in the Slashdot audience, I'm curious what your key reasons are for sticking with Subversion. If possible, I'd like reasons that apply to 'most of the time' as opposed to arguments based on obscure features that may get used only a few times ever."

CVS all the way baby

[i_ate_god]

I'm not a fan of SVN. Use it at work, and I find myself missing things CVS does so well, like tagging and branching. Frankly, the features of SVN that are actually better than CVS seem more related to server management than to me, the programmer who needs source control.

I admit, I've never looked at Git at all, I don't know how it compares to CVS or SVN, but I'm not planning on moving my personal projects out of CVS any time soon, sorry.
