i use svn, that's what i know professionally and have been using for more
than 10 years (probably closer to 15). for me as a single user, i see no
benefit in using git -- i have my SVN repo on a server, and use that as a
backup and interchange solution for working on 3 or 4 different computers.
on the macs i use cornerstone, windows TortoiseSVN and on linux command
line.

so, my follow up question: why use git as a single user? this is not a
flame-war, i'm genuinely interested in any advantage that git will give me
over svn. the most misused argument i hear, "you can check in regularly on
your local machine and then send a big check-in to the repository later"
doesn't do it for me. i generally check-in once a day, or when changing
computers or when a score reaches milestones (initial setup, music entry
finished, tweaking finished, final layout, etc.). i don't need to
micro-manage my versions every time i add a musical phrase... ;)

regards,
sb
