Dispel all the myths you want, but until you dispel the &quot;SVN can&#x27;t do offline commits&quot;, I have no use for it. That&#x27;s the only reason I read the article, to find out that I&#x27;m behind the times and SVN finally caught up ten years later. Alas, it&#x27;s simply, &quot;see, SVN is just as good as git, and better in exactly one respect (huge monolithic repos)&quot;, except still severely lacking what is common use case for me.
