I’ve said both subversion was better, and worse before for sure. PTSD is making it hard to remember what I’ve said when trying to remove a PSD of mpeg you accidentally committed in the first commit and just noticed as you cloned the repo home and it was 2gb for a 3 page website.

The proof of work is the commit content itself! Unlike some arbitrary brute force task of no value.
I love git until it backfires which at that point I fucking hate git
I get more than half the spaces, all the negative ones, but can't quite make a bingo without the center, which is the kind of pro-giving a shit about git nonsense I'd never utter.
I miss subversion and perforce.
My friend and I are looking to make a game and the general consensus has been that perforce is still better than git LFS, so we're setting up a perforce server. What is it about SVN and perforce that you miss? I've only ever used git professionally for VCS so I'm finding perforce's always-online and exclusive-checkouts model just very strange (though I understand the need for it when working with binary files).
Perforce is great for dealing with media files, artists can actually use it without producing 500 variants of -new-old-2022-final-dontuse-revised-1.1-2023 filenames (I AM NOT JOKING.), and it doesn't slow down with a lot of media like git does (which has to check out the entire history). Since usually only one artist touches a file at a time, locking doesn't slow them down.
Subversion's kind of the same for devs. There's a single source of truth, merging and branching is a lot easier, but it's less possessive about files. You can do media in it, better than git, but not as nicely as p4. I have seen the -new-old filenames end up in svn, but if you delete a file and commit, it goes away.
