There is a lag between availability and mindshare to apply a technology.

I myself introduced SVN as versioning solution to a company in 2007, years after git was available I and I was aware of it

git simply didn't have the mind share jet, thus I went with what I knew



> I myself introduced SVN as versioning solution to a company in 2007

In 2013, I was tasked with writing wrapper scripts around SVN to make it look like SCCS to avoid confusing the development people who only knew how to use SCCS whilst the company migrated to SVN. Fun but traumatising.


Hear, hear

Git was too weird for a team, but svn with its linear timeline was a hit. They are still with svn, and for a small shop it's ok
