People are still using SVN for new stuff?


It's a new subproject, yes, but the llvm project itself is over a decade old, and everything else is under svn.


For certain workflows and types of software projects and teams, Subversion performs admirably well.

There is a world outside of git.

(a world with the saddest, most rage-inducing branching model in existence, but a world nonetheless)


I don't think it's worse than the models for SCCS, RCS, and CVS, which I used in various projects before SVN. ;)


Well bless your kindly heart. :)


Thank you for sharing that. :)
