Except for you just now i don't think anyone is
questioning the need for version control on the
3rd party dependencies. This tree was there long
before i joined the blender project so can't give
any insights on any controversy in creating it.
However whenever this subject (why svn) comes up,
it
Congratulations Dan! I know this has been something that's been
problematic for a long time, so it's great you were able to improve
things (and by the sound of it, things have improved by a lot)

Just a heads-up
Hi everyone,
It's fascinating to see this discussion. It never occurred to me that
anyone might continue to prefer svn once git came into existence, and yet
here is a sample case, right under my nose! I guess svn is still relevant
even after all these years!
But actually I'd be curious to know

- To track library versions https://developer.blender.org/T88438
- To tag corresponding versions for each release
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/tags/
- Some bugs show up due to deps also,
https://developer.blender.org/rBL62677 . VCS can point to the commit
that caused it.
