How does this differ from a user branch in svn?

transfire• 12 years ago

Personally I think Git is not a good design. And the reason is simple, to access the files of variant revisions we have to use a specialized tool: `git`. Thus all the files are hidden away behind what is essentially a secondary file system. Yet the primary file system itself is (or should be) sufficient. Eventually I expect someone will make a new version control system that combines the advantages of git with the primacy of the file system in the way SVN utilizes it. That would be ideal.
