The last time I tried, merging multiple version in svn is a huge pain. One of the advantages of DVCS is that branching and merging are easy. I understand. Please go ahead if you need git. My preference for svn is just my personal opinion, coming from my personal experience: people wanted to change a well running system, using the latest and greatest tools. In the end, after quite some efforts, there was no benefit, it was just a bit more complicated. +1 from me: I have exactly the same experience personally.

I'm with Taco and Peter on this one. SVN is part of my everyday workflow; Git requires a lot more reading and fumbling. However I know the need to be fluent with Git is becoming more and more prevalent, and for many people it's already the easiest thing. So I wouldn't argue against moving to Git. I'm just reporting my preference. BTW I committed several changes to the manual yesterday, and plan to do a fair bit more in the coming week or two. I would appreciate if someone knowledgeable could check and make sure that I haven't said things that are misleading or incorrect. Lars
