It's like switching car brands from a VW to an Audi or so.
    Some buttons are in different places, your key will maybe look
    different,
    but that's it. It's a car, it brings you from a to b.

It's not switching brands, it's switching the type of the car.
from a passenger i.e. to a bus.
It's still a car, but the concept is a little different.

    A file version system manages versions of files.
    The actual commands differ a little, but that's it.


The human psychology. There were no particular problems for anyone to use SVN. It worked fine. So for the people it doesn't seem like an obvious reason for the change. The change is not recognized by the brain as a needed change, as a cure of some sort.
Instead it's recognized as an unnecessary burden.

I must say that I have similar feelings.
No matter ...
I have related question: in SVN was possible to checkout specific sub-directory (for example if I am interested in fcl-db package only I checkedout only this sub-directory). Is it possible with gitlab? Or I must clone whole https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source ?
Thanks ...
