I’ve heard it thrown around in professional circles and how everybody’s doing it wrong, so… who actually does use it? For smaller teams [https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/trunk1b.png] “scaled” trunk based development [https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/trunk1c.png]

Yes. We use SVN. I hate it. I’m trying to build a case to switch to git

Do you really need to make a case. SVN is dead. Many devs won’t touch it. It’s best way to say to new candidates your company is backwards. Many would refuse to work in a company that uses a version control system that has been dead 7 years.

My company still uses SVN, but we have almost 20 years of history in the repository, not including the autogenerated commits from when we migrated from CVS.

My department would like for us to move to git (some sub projects have) but it’s important for our process to retain the history and nobody has had the time to figure out if the migration would be clean then update all of our auto-testing infrastructure (which itself is over a decade old) to use git, all while not stopping active development.
