Update, April 1st, 2010: While this post was originally made in jest, head over to Announcing SVN Support to see that it’s now reality.
You may have noticed things have slowed down around here. Sure, the site’s getting faster, but where are the new features? Well, it’s time to unveil what we’ve been secretly working on these past few weeks: SVNHub.
Yes, that’s right! Git is too new, too big of a change, and too hard to explain to my parents. We’re moving back to Subversion and all of you are coming with us.

What about the rest of us who are so eagerly waiting for CVS support?
Tue Apr 01 01:42:15 -0700 2008
Awesome! I can't wait for CVSHub, or maybe RCSHub?
Tue Apr 01 01:46:15 -0700 2008
Finally! This git thing really got to my nerves. SVN is what development was ever all about: one trunk to rule them all.
Tue Apr 01 01:50:41 -0700 2008
Good idea. This distributed stuff gets too messy.
Tue Apr 01 02:00:08 -0700 2008
sweet. no more braching for me ;)

tarhub.com ftw

I FOR ONE AM OUTRAGED FOR SOME INDETERMINATE REASON
Tue Apr 01 02:21:40 -0700 2008
Oh man, +1 for tarhub. Any kind of organized version control should be left to the young folks.
Tue Apr 01 02:31:48 -0700 2008
I want VisualSourceSafeHub!
Tue Apr 01 02:44:31 -0700 2008
The links on svnhub.com are all very informative. Thank you for a great resource.

Sweet, is lighthouse integration all good to go on svnhub?
Tue Apr 01 04:51:25 -0700 2008
What I'm really bothered is how insecure your site is. Going back to svn will not change that. All these public and private keys are rubbish. You know what! If you really want to do it the proper way you should not accept commits without confirmation by fax.
Tue Apr 01 05:02:29 -0700 2008
Uhh, yeah. If you try to explain git the way its users manual does, there's not going to be any doubt that your parents won't understand it. Besides, git is not aimed at your parents. It's aimed at practical developers. Going back to SVN is really going to solve so many problems, ain't it? Good luck with that. We're out of SVN for good. You're right. Going back to SVN is the biggest decision you've made around here, so good luck walking back into nightmares. I'm out of this Website.

Disappointed :-/
Tue Apr 01 05:34:04 -0700 2008
man. I was so against svn before. But if you guys are doing it I'm more than happy to switch over my projects! Thanks for leading the way!

ok, fine with me. now all my friends can join us coding. git feels like the future but needs polishing. local commits where awesome though.
anyway; more people joinging > local commits.
w00t!
also: please allow for all the cool web2.0 service post-comit notification that beanstalkapp.com has ;)

Will my SVNHub repository fit on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk?
Tue Apr 01 13:46:36 -0700 2008
Thank you. Thank you. I was starting to learn something. But it was getting uncomfartable.
