<p dir="ltr">I recently found a large project of mine's svn repository was corrupt. Most functions worked and I didn't know about it -- possibly over a year or two of work. It led to me manually comparing and merging hundreds of files and, for kicks, let's say thousands of changes. I'm still not done with that either.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In any case, I'm likely never going to use svn again for new projects. (That project was begun before git existed and I never converted.)</p>
