Comment on Ask HN: Is git/svn right for me?parent

Comments

Version control is indeed always a good idea. However, I'd strongly advise choosing Git over SVN.

SVN's branching capability is a joke compared to Git, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without easy branching once you get used to having it. This is important even if you're the only developer on the project.

Since the release of SVN 1.5, branching / merging is trivial.
