Not quite. The lack of any requirement for it in more than 20 years of professional support of environments which used it, all of which have now migrated to git, indicates that it's not a popular feature. It's also a practice that can be duplicated by other means.

>Hosting providers such as github, are abandoning Subversion support. >It is really on its last legs: So it's a lot of old, boring technology too, but still used because it just works and it's battle-tested. I studied and deployed SVN for my team 8 years ago, after using it as an user a lot. "Everybody" was already using git back then. SVN serves us well, we branch when needed and use trunk/release branches when needed (the merge hell myth is still around). For my team particularly, we don't see the need (effort) to migrate, although everybody has the usual github account/usage for other stuff. We keep our Subversion server, backups and administration pretty private, with no "external hosting" and the like. My two cents, Juan
