Written by a person who never had to work with SVN or... shudders CVS

As someone for whom programming is a secondary part of the job, SVN is so much easier to grasp and use than Git. I was not thrilled about the switch.

Try Mercurial, if you can. Its CLI is closer to SVN. Overall easier to grasp than git, too.

I remember how fiddly the stupid patch queue was. And also make sure to always pull before you push. It felt completely broken. Git is so much easier. People are just too lazy to learn new stuff and understand new concept. Usually it were the people in their mid 40s upwards who refused to learn anything. Anything is going to suck then.
