Hi,
Some hard numbers on the current trends on SVN vs Git vs Mercurial:
-
The “Eclipse Community Survey Report June 2013” is a reliable source:
Short version “Git is now as widespread (30+7%) as SVN (37.8%) in the industry” -
The first point of the accompanying analysis read like this :
“1. Git continues to take-over. The adoption of Git as a developers primary source code management system continues to move forward and at the expense of Subversion. Interestingly, Subversion continues to be the #1 SCM but just barely. If you combine Git and GitHub usage, Subversion leads by only 1.5% points. Next year I am sure Git and GitHub will be #1.” -
Another point of importance : in this survey, Mercurial is loosing ground, far far behind both Git and SVN with 3.6% !
-
In the ground of opensource projects, here is the numbers from Ohloh : SVN 48%, Git 37%, CVS 9%, Mercurial 2%
Those number tells about really interesting trends, I think.
Cheers,
