Current project status
We are considering using Subversion for a project with large binary files since it seems to have some strengths in that area compared to the alternatives. But now that the Apache Software Foundation and most other projects such LLVM and FreeBSD have migrated away from Subversion, what does the future of Subversion look like? Is it still being actively worked on? Is anyone sponsoring it? Luke Mauldin

For me, subversion still has uses by compelling centralized change tracking, and by permitting checkouts of very small directories from a master repo or a designated tag. Large binaries. just don't put those in source control. Put those in software packaging.
Re: Current project status
Let me clarify. The binaries can be unity 3d models or other engineering assets. They are not compiled code. > On Oct 27, 2021, at 5:42 PM, Nico Kadel-Garcia wrote: > > On Wed, Oct 27, 2021 at 6:31 PM Luke Mauldin wrote: >> >> We are considering using Subversion for a project with large binary files >> since it seems to have some strengths in that area compared to the >> alternatives.
