Yeah I read it and am still confused: Subversion doesn&#x27;t let you have branches like git, where it&#x27;s just some version of the code people can toy around with on their machines without affecting anyone? Any sharing of code to the central repo blocks further work?<p>If true, that seems like Stone Age code workflow. You might as well argue that code should be tested before deployment rather than edited on production directly, or that it&#x27;s a really neat idea to keep track of who changed what code when. Duh?
