Merges for git are different and the policy will change. git is better
at tracking and blame yada yada. SVN is a nightmare for it and it should

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
