It wasn’t really that big a deal. Most of them have more in common than they have differences. If anything, I experienced fewer problems in the age of SVN. It has fewer options than git, but it’s also a lot more intuitive and easy to learn, which counts for a lot when your largest limiting factor is your coworkers.

Facts. Force push belongs in Star Wars, and nowhere else.
