I haven't tried since 2003 or so, but last time I tried to build SVN from source, it was horrible. There were many libraries I also had to find and build along the way, but they were not building cleanly "out of the box" for reasons of low quality or high complexity.<br>
<br>When Linus made git, it was relatively self sufficient and simple. It built cleanly without any fuss.<br><br>So besides the fact that I like the design more, there's an impracticality to SVN that's very relevant to this thread. The OP might not want to build from source because it provides no system integration; otherwise, that would be a great solution if SVN was easy to build.<br>

Out of curiosity (and this isn't directed at you, Michael (Potter)), but other than not being the hipster SCM-du-jour, what's wrong with svn? Of course, best tool for the job and all that stuff that makes people sound wise, but what have people found objectionable about it?<br>
<br>Granted, where I work it's mandated so I have no choice, and we don't have a workforce that is unable to get to the central repo for long periods, so it's probably good enough *for me*, but what other contexts do people have to use it in which it is not a good choice?<div>
