Although I think it's extremely unlikely, I almost wish subversion would have a resurgence. I like git, personally, but I've seen so many people struggle with it, and the problems of putting large/binary assets into the repository are real. Yes, there's LFS now, but (as far as I know) you then need to make up front decisions about what to store directly and what to store indirectly as LFS objects.
Subversion was much better than anything existing before, but a very fundamental problem is that it treats branches and tags, which are conceptually different, the same way. This results in branches not tracking well their history and tags behaving like moving targets.
