replyWell... I used SVN before that and it was way worse.
Clearly the poster has never encountered cvs or cvs-next.
replyAnd clear OP hasn't heard of vss..

replyHN is a tiny bubble. The majority of the world's software engineers are barely using source control, don't do code reviews, don't have continuous build systems, don't have configuration controlled release versions, don't do almost anything that most of HN's visitors think are the basic table stakes just to conduct software engineering.
