Does anyone still use SVN or CVS for any of their projects?
One project that I collaborate in uses #SVN and honestly I quite like the sparse directories feature (https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.advanced.sparsedirs.html)
Sparse checkouts in #git don't quite feel the same...

I remember writing the infosec review/best practices doc for Subversion at my company a lifetime ago.
Good days. Infosec wasn't as bloody as it is now. I miss the good old days of IT. I've been out of the field for roughly a decade now. Couldn't imagine the stress and ignominy people go through now.
@RL_Dane Funny enough, I wrote a ``best practices`` document for Git in my last job. Some things come full circle
@brozek
Man, how long was that document?
git is so complex, it makes Vim look like cat
@RL_Dane Not super long, the hope is that most people won't use the complicated advance features and instead follow the same workflow...
Thankfully, I have yet to see someone explicitly call the git garbage collection command. Though I'm sure that's bound to happen :D
