     @rose that question has haunted me for years
     
     git is literally the biggest piece of shit that every uses. totally by inertia at this point.

     @feld @rose if you think git is bad now, you should have seen it before git 2.0

     @feld @rose mercurial is great but I gave up and just use git now and if I need to use a more complicated git function I just nuke the repo and start over

     @sun @rose you might like jj then because it's git compatible but supposed to be a significantly better user experience.
     
     but I learned too much git and now muscle memory takes over

     @feld @rose git is not great but it's not the worst thing ever so I will just learn it.
     
     
     no time for people that can't even see that git is not ideal though lol, I noticed there are people that can get used to anything no matter how bad.

     @toiletpaper @rose @sun my experience with SVN was only that branching and merging sucked, not that there was any data loss
     
     When FreeBSD tried to move away from CVS, they had to go to SVN. SVN was preferred due to similar characteristics to CVS, but git literally couldn't handle the size of the repos at the time. It took another 10 years before the switch to git could happen.

     @sun @feld @rose
     
     At least it's not svn. Lost count how many times I ended up with unrecoverably corrupt repos trying to use that dumpster fire. The worst I had with git is it crapping out and becoming corrupt with too much data. But at least it's mostly recoverable.

     @feld @rose @toiletpaper we had some corruption issues, which is a big deal when the repo is centralized, but the main issue we had with svn was locking

     @sun @rose @toiletpaper the FreeBSD repos are always busy so it was always annoying to try to push but get errors because you gotta svn up again, fix conflicts, and try to land your commit before someone else does. A constant race.
     
     Git handles that much better.

     @sun @rose @toiletpaper I've seen ClearCase only once. It sucked.
     
     The funny part is that the old guard wouldn't even use SVN, they'd keep doing their work in Perforce because it was better at branching and merging lol
     
     The Perforce repos weren't retired until 2020... :stonk:

     @feld @rose @toiletpaper perforce is the other big government one, would have been preferable.
     
     incidentally we had svn merges that would take an hour or more and with git they happened in seconds

     @sun @rose @toiletpaper I'm just glad people put in the work to make it possible to convert between SCMs.
     
     I don't know if there's a similar example but the CSRG branch in the FreeBSD git has commits tracked back to the early 90s, possibly late 80s -- before FreeBSD even existed yet.
     
     I was about to link to it because I was just looking at ancient commits from the early 90s and now it's throwing 503 errors so I think the cgit server just shit itself
