I have a confession to make. I was working in a company where the main development center was located in a different country. The main development center wanted to centralize all code on a single SVN server and move the build process to Jenkins

I said we already had source control (CVS) and a a working build process (a script on a server that pulled from CVS, built a jar file and deployed it to X servers). We were too "busy" at the moment but would look into it in the future. This never happened.

The real reason was that I was concerned that the central development center would take over the project, as they had tried to do so in the past. Looking back, I should probably have let them take over as there was more than enough work for everyone.
