Hm, it's somehow not really Subversion vs. Git but more something along the lines like: Myths, that subversion is worse than Git in many ways.
I would have added some advantages of Git if it's really "Subversion vs. Git". But a great read nonetheless :-)
I think you're probably right.
I've used rcs,cvs, p4, svn and git.
I don't particularly have a favorite but I think git's security model is basically nonexistent BUT that lack of security basically lead to the genesis of GitHub/GitLab which are pretty handy.
How about: SVN is incredibly slow, checking out larger projects or commiting many files can take tens of minutes instead of seconds with git.
True
I don't think thats true TBH.
I've worked on some pretty huge projects with both and I think it depends on the underlying server. SVN does seem to be a bit more "chatty" to the server than git so its more sensitive to latency. I'm honestly surprised that the people who wrote this article didn't benchmark...
