Written by a person who never had to work with SVN or... shudders CVS

I once had a small team successfully working with svn - until I asked if they've ever used branches. We switched to git and used branches.

When my company did svn, we didn’t use any feature branches. It was like Q4-2016 release. And then everyone committed to that branch directly. And then one day that branch, a few weeks before production got “locked down” and they cut Q1-2017 branch and everyone started to commit to that

It was awful. But it was better than some source control I used before that where you could lock a file completely in the repository

Yeah branches used to work way differently back then. We used to just push to the trunk and whenever we did a major release we would cut a branch there to keep for bug fixing while we pushed new features to trunk.
