other dev at work: "why cant i switch branch of my SVN repo like Git"
Me: "Cuz it uses different approach, different branches are at different locations......."
Him: "but how can i use it like Git"
Me: "you cant"
Him: "but why"
Me: "Get away from me before i throw something heavy at you"

    For me, git makes much more sense.

    @flag0 Would it be fair to say you've used git more than SVN? I haven't - in all my career, for various reasons, I've never used git in work. Have used SVN forever though and yes, it's limited, but I follow it much more easily than git.

    I feel the other dev though. Having to work with subversion while knowing the benefits of git is a bummer.

    There are some tools though that serve as a git to subversion gateway, e.g. git-svn

    I use git for my personal projects, but the place I work at still uses self hosted SVN.......Thankfully they are moving to Git in near future
