Field notes on why SVN still fits binary-heavy game projects, how it stacks up against Git and Perforce, and how to move your history across without the pain.
Git won the world, but games run on huge binary assets and mixed-discipline teams. Here's why centralised, lockable version control still fits how games are actually made.
Git is the right tool for distributed, code-centric work. For unmergeable multi-gigabyte assets and partial checkouts, the centralised model has real, concrete advantages. An honest comparison.
If Assembla's pricing pushed you to look elsewhere, your SVN history can move with you — authors, dates, and revisions intact — and stay plain SVN so you're never locked in again.
