&gt; An outdated myth.<p>Don&#x27;t you mean an outdated <i>fact</i>, since it was true.<p>&gt; Certain workflow limitations exist.<p>Also true of SVN. I&#x27;d argue it is more true of SVN than Git, but whatever.<p>&gt; Git history is not safe<p>You gave so much leniency to subversion for half-truths earlier, but you&#x27;re going to come down on Git for this? `rebase` does not destroy history. `commit --amend` does not destroy history. `filter-branch` does not destroy history. The old commits are still there. You can easily find them with `reflog`. `reset --hard` doesn&#x27;t even add new commits, just changes where a branch pointer points.<p>As identified by others in this thread, this is really cherry-picking the issues and totally ignoring some major flaws and drawbacks specific to SVN that led to DVCS&#x27;s in the first place.<p>If it wasn&#x27;t already obvious that this was a biased piece, you include only negeative experiences with git in your &quot;further reading&quot; section.
