Practical Reasons To Choose Git Or Subversion?

Posted by kdawson on from the while-we're-at-it-do-you-like-vi-or-emacs dept.

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."

    Just for reference, it's the Slashdot users who add the tags, not the editors.

    Because it's massively outdated compared to every other browser out there...

    It's not like other browsers are doing anything proprietary and nonstandard, everything is documented and microsoft simply chooses not to implement the published standards.
