Thanks to the HN search function I found my comment from the first time this page was linked over 4 years ago:<p>At least the site&#x27;s anonymous author cherrypicks some biased but reasonably true statements to make instead of spreading opinions and misinformation. I&#x27;d still like to see entries for some elephants in the room like &quot;Subversion is far slower than Git in important operations&quot;, &quot;Common failure types corrupt Subversion working copies&quot; and &quot;Locked files interfere with team workflow&quot;.<p>Rereading the same page now I get a much worse impression of bad faith rather than mere bias. But who would make such an effort for a technical issue like Subversion vs. Git, rather than for a definite commercial or political interest? Could it be a case of unusually delusional opinions?
