I still use SVN . Although Git have many advantages over Subversion with multiple branches and much more, I still see some advantages for SVN. I might guess you can configure Git to act and have the same features as SVN but in this case SVN comes with those features out-of-the box and it's easy to use. So although most of my projects uses Git as version control, I still use SVN in some cases. Here are a few pros for Subversion that I use: Ability to save large files Ability to save binary files Easier to use and maintain Possibility to update just a sub directory without updating the whole project I have recently discovered a good GUI Subversion application that works quick, easy to use, small footprint, fast and free, non-intrusive and though I recommend it: kdesvn - https://apps.kde.org/kdesvn/ * By the way, there is still a possibility to use SVN to read Git repositories and read Git from SVN
Points regarding computing that I always forget - so I write them here to find them easily and maybe other could benefit too.
