What are the differences between GIT and SVN when it comes to merge conflicts solving.
- by chalup
I keep hearing that branching in git is so much easier than in SVN, because it's easier to merge the branch back to trunk/master. I've read some tutorials, but they only covered basic merge conflicts ("Alice changed line 8 of code.cpp and at the same time Bob changed line 8 of code.cpp...") and there are no differences between SVN and all other distributed source control systems.
Can you give me the examples of changes in branch that would cause troubles in SVN repository, but would be handled gracefully by git?
