   on thing i noticed about !git vs #svn is space utilization. a git repo clone of the exact svn repo is _substantially_ smaller. awesome

     Wow, good to know. I've never used svn - is it any different?

     You're lucky. In #svn you create a branch or tag by copying it to another dir. It's centralized; you don't get the complete history.

     @lukeshu @mvdan I consider lack of real branches or tags in #Subversion to be a major #fail.

     The same way I started off my first-ever web server with nginx? ;-) So much useful info on the net, it's just great.

     @mvdan Yup. I switched my web server to nginx a few weeks ago. Omigod. But I was lucky too, I'd never worked with svn until my current job.
