What are the advantages of SVN over Git?

SVN is not challenging to use compared to Git.

  • You hardly waste unnecessary time creating new features when you use SVN
  • Easily controllable and more secured
  • Does Git need more space than SVN?

    Still it’s not easy to tell for sure whether Git uses more or less space than SVN. One reason for that is that SVN stores locally only the last revision while with git you have full copy of the repository on your machine. So you can’t compare space used by one revision in SVN with space used by full repository in Git.

    How is a git branch different from a SVN branch?

    In SVN, when a branch is created, it contains a single commit being the whole codebase. In Git, a branch is just a symbolic link (kind of) to a commit. So when a branch is created from master, the branch’s history is the same as master’s.
