> I don't know if anyone shares my experience, but I actually found svn rather mysterious and difficult to understand. I never actually saw the point to it at all, so I never bothered using it (unless it was mandated by some authority).
There is no point to Subversion or Perforce, unless it's mandated by some authority. The purpose is for that authority, not for you the programmer. That's the essential difference--in P4 or SVN, the authority has version control and you the programmer do not. In Git, everyone has version control.
