SubVersion最让我恼火的一点是它把自己的文件夹放在项目的每个目录中，而git只把一个文件夹放在根目录中。这不是什么大事，但这样的小事积少成多。

当然，SubVersion有Tortoise，它(通常)非常好。

使用Git，您几乎可以脱机做任何事情，因为每个人都有自己的存储库。

创建分支和合并分支非常简单。

即使你没有项目的提交权限，你仍然可以拥有自己的在线存储库，并发布补丁的“推送请求”。每个喜欢你的补丁的人都可以把它们拉到他们的项目中，包括官方的维护者。

分叉一个项目，修改它，并仍然从HEAD分支中合并错误修复是很简单的。

Git适用于Linux内核开发人员。这意味着它非常快(必须如此)，并且可以扩展到数千个贡献者。Git使用的空间也更少(Mozilla存储库的空间最多减少30倍)。

Git非常灵活，非常TIMTOWTDI(有不止一种方法可以做到)。你可以使用任何你想要的工作流，Git会支持它。

最后，还有GitHub，一个托管Git存储库的好网站。

Git的缺点:

它更难学，因为Git有更多的概念和命令。 修订版不像subversion那样有版本号 许多Git命令是神秘的，错误消息对用户非常不友好 它缺少一个好的GUI(比如伟大的TortoiseSVN)

Windows中的Git现在得到了很好的支持。

David Richards关于Subversion / GIT的WANdisco博客

The emergence of GIT has brought with it a breed of DVCS fundamentalists – the ‘Gitterons’ – that think anything other than GIT is crap. The Gitterons seem to think software engineering happens on their own island and often forget that most organizations don’t employ senior software engineers exclusively. That’s ok but it’s not how the rest of the market thinks, and I am happy to prove it: GIT, at the last look had less than three per cent of the market while Subversion has in the region of five million users and about half of the overall market. The problem we saw was that the Gitterons were firing (cheap) shots at Subversion. Tweets like “Subversion is so [slow/crappy/restrictive/doesn't smell good/looks at me in a funny way] and now I have GIT and [everything works in my life/my wife got pregnant/I got a girlfriend after 30 years of trying/I won six times running on the blackjack table]. You get the picture.

其他的回答很好地解释了Git的核心特性(这些特性非常棒)。但是还有很多小方法可以让Git表现得更好，并帮助我的生活更加理智。以下是一些小细节:

Git has a 'clean' command. SVN desperately needs this command, considering how frequently it will dump extra files on your disk. Git has the 'bisect' command. It's nice. SVN creates .svn directories in every single folder (Git only creates one .git directory). Every script you write, and every grep you do, will need to be written to ignore these .svn directories. You also need an entire command ("svn export") just to get a sane copy of your files. In SVN, each file & folder can come from a different revision or branch. At first, it sounds nice to have this freedom. But what this actually means is that there is a million different ways for your local checkout to be completely screwed up. (for example, if "svn switch" fails halfway through, or if you enter a command wrong). And the worst part is: if you ever get into a situation where some of your files are coming from one place, and some of them from another, the "svn status" will tell you that everything is normal. You'll need to do "svn info" on each file/directory to discover how weird things are. If "git status" tells you that things are normal, then you can trust that things really are normal. You have to tell SVN whenever you move or delete something. Git will just figure it out. Ignore semantics are easier in Git. If you ignore a pattern (such as *.pyc), it will be ignored for all subdirectories. (But if you really want to ignore something for just one directory, you can). With SVN, it seems that there is no easy way to ignore a pattern across all subdirectories. Another item involving ignore files. Git makes it possible to have "private" ignore settings (using the file .git/info/exclude), which won't affect anyone else.

它是分布的。基准测试表明，它的速度要快得多(考虑到它的分布式性质，像diffs和log这样的操作都是本地的，所以在这种情况下，它当然要快得多)，而且工作文件夹也更小(这仍然让我大吃一惊)。

当您使用subversion或任何其他客户端/服务器版本控制系统时，您实际上是通过签出版本在您的机器上创建工作副本。这代表了存储库外观的时间快照。通过更新更新工作副本，通过提交更新存储库。

使用分布式版本控制，您没有快照，而是拥有整个代码库。想要一个3个月大的版本吗?没问题，3个月前的版本还在你的电脑上。这不仅意味着速度更快，而且如果您与中央服务器断开连接，您仍然可以执行许多您习惯的操作。换句话说，您不仅拥有给定修订的快照，而且拥有整个代码库。

您可能认为Git会占用大量硬盘空间，但从我看到的几个基准测试来看，它实际上占用的空间更少。不要问我怎么做。我的意思是，它是由莱纳斯构建的，我猜他对文件系统略知一二。
