We've used both, and now just use Git in VS2019.
The "everyone has a copy of everything" mentality of Git has saved us a few times.

I used a paid SVN service long time ago, and TortoiseSVN works very well since then...

git and svn are different configuration management tools, git is not a "better" version of SVN.
git uses a decentralized approach which is an overkill in most small team use-cases.

Used this in a job some years ago. I wish I could remember specific details, but I read at the time that there were issues in a Windows environment depending on something or other (and that's the condition I can't remember, sorry!).
However, one evening, I've been running the project I was working on and doing tests. Next morning it won't build. I found 40+ files that had all changed in the space of one second, when I had been at home.
Not saying it was anything to do with T-SVN - could have been an issues with the company's automated backup process, but something BAD happened!

And I've just found a way that I can lose it, at least in Outlook.
Outlook is a special case for me: it has half a monitor dedicated to it, because it's always there. always running, and - pretty much - always busy ...
But the Ribbon takes up a big chunk of space, and since the things I use most often aren't associated with "normal" keys I end up with the damn ribbon blocking my screen most of the time.
Except on my Surface, where there is a small, neat set of keys that do much of what I want: Toggle "Read" status, reply, delete, flag ... which isn't on my desktop.
And I just worked out it's "Touch mode" which enables it. So I can hide the stupid Ribbon, and just remember "F9 is refresh, not F5" and gain a good chunk of space back!
(If you want to try it, click the "Customise Quick Access Toolbar" in the top right, and enable the "Touch / Mouse Mode" button. In Touch mode, it's there, in Mouse mode, it's not).

In Word you can unpin it so it only appears when you click a top level menu item (something I just learned).
|
|
|
|
|
In Outlook you can unpin like in Word, Excel, Access ...
strg + F1
or
ctrl + F1

+5 just for ribbon hate! But did they eliminate the dropdown carat? In 2010 version there is a dropdown carat at the top-right position of the screen that pins and unpins the ribbon.

Yes it does. Want a copy?

I wasn't sure if that subject was a pun (because the ribbon is literally right at the top, get it?)
Don't share your hate though.
It's just a menu bar with buttons for the things I supposedly use the most.
|

It's a menu bar that is 30mm tall (on this Surface) and shows maybe a dozen things. Compare that with a toolbar in VS: 5mm high, 5mm wide per button - so my precious screen real estate isn't covered, and I can get dozens of functions on there. If I need to find something I don't recognise the picture for, I can mouse hover for a tooltip. Why force us to waste space I could use for reading the actual message?

When an option literally becomes invisible if your screen size isn't wide enough, yes, I hate it. I'm not talking about the last menu item disappearing. I'm talking about sh*t in the middle. F'ing pisses me off. The old menus were always at the same position, but not these damn things.

I guess I'm always on a big screen

Hi! My name is clippy. I see you are trying to mess around with my ribbon. If you keep that up, you will go blind.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

And was trying to improve the concept! ^_^

I love the ribbon.
But if you don't like it, you can use the "Ribbon Display Options" button in the top right (near the Minimize button) to bring up different options, including hiding the ribbon altogether and showing only the tabs.
Cheers,

Now it's not like I've not honked this horn, before, but I just had to give an example that I've been see for a couple of years now and, to emphasize my point, had to share.
The epidemic of proud ignorance has reached a level that is just a shock to the system.
To wit - examples for a supermarket chain's weekly add:
KRAFT CHEESE SHREDS - 2 for $4 - that's just $2 each!
CHOBANI GREEK YOGURT - 5 for $5 - that's just $1 each !
These are spread throughout this circular[^]
I suppose, within a generation, they'll have to have something like:
POLLY-O MOZZARELLA - $2.50 - that's just $2.50 each!
You know how bad it really is? When the composed the circular they used a calculator.

When I was a wee lad I used to read every label and do all sorts of head math - just some little kids amusement thing. No big deal in and of itself.
But I noticed at a very early age that, at the time, buying DelMonte Tomato Sauce in 8oz cans was cheaper than buying it in large sizes. I've still seen these super-large-industrial-size cans of food that are more expensive than buying it in smaller cans.
Yours, one hopes, is a typo - but there's an old vaudeville=esqe line about making change of paper money: "Hey buddy, you got two tens for a five?"

Bring back pounds, shillings and pence (LSD). That will teach everyone how to do mental arithmetic.
For those younger than me (i.e. all of you), or from somewhere outside the UK, this was UK currency pre-decimalisation.
