Time to svn commit like it's the year 2000: Apache celebrates 20 years of Subversion

Re: Fond memories

I don't really get this "similar to CVS" claim. I have used both, and find SVN works totally differently. For example, you don't have branches, but separate directories that act as the branches. OK, it works, but it is nothing like how CVS does things.

Version numbers in SVN also are entirely different, not 1.2, 1.3 ... but a huge number without any structure that counts commits since the beginning.

In all, CVS and SVN have about as much in common as CVS and Git.
