it's not?

(from the Subversion 1.6 docs, circa 2009)

"amos why are you reading the Subversion 1.6 docs"

uhh...someone must?

@fasterthanlime Whoa, you’re telling me the whole world hasn’t moved to git? You’re bringing back a memory for me when my org moved from cvs to svn uh… over 10 years ago, and I read the svn book. It was surprisingly good reading. I was entertained the whole way and leaned a lot about subversion.
@sheromon oh no the world has moved on thankfully, I'm just writing about history
@fasterthanlime @sheromon I'd just like to chime in and say no, not everyone has moved on 🫠
@jbrowne @sheromon you live outside the world? 🙃
@fasterthanlime @sheromon it sure feels like it every time I do an svn update
@sheromon
I think not the whole world. One of my lectures use svn repositories for the exercise submission.
@fasterthanlime
@fasterthanlime is it some form of digital masochism?
@fasterthanlime subversion is awesome! There is too much fud around these systems. Until someone builds a replacement for a centralized (aka don’t clone the entire repo history) system that *correctly* versions binary assets, then svn is still the best of the best.
@fasterthanlime Sounds like there's an untapped market for a `git flagellate` command.
@fasterthanlime This reads like someone with ADHD wrote this sentence. I can very much relate
@MTRNord @fasterthanlime my thoughts exactly. I'm in the five and I don't like it.
@fasterthanlime Ugh, that generic masculinum is quite annoying.
@shine it is! but also definitely a sign of the times (2009)
