There were folks using subversion, but that seemed to be very much a holdout from the before times, and was on its way out.</p> <p>Despite this, I was never happy with git. The frequency with which you have to do violence to your repository, the fact that you use a <code>--hard</code> flag and weird notations like <code>HEAD~</code> never sat well with me.</p>
