I think there are still plenty of svn users out there, and switching completely away from svn, would be a larger change for them. At the moment (but this might just be me), branches in GIT works real bad with our current build system. I have f.x. 3 branches and trunk, all being build more or less daily. I tried with GIT, where branch switching is supposed to be very simple. The branch switch itself is simple, but I always needed a complete build --all, because the GIT do (of course not) preserve the different unxlngx6.pro dirs. > > We talk here about "trunk" our real code repo only.
