Git and SVN difference

Git is not just a version control system, it is also a content management system (CMS), work management systems.

Git and SVN point of difference:

1. Git is a distributed, SVN is not

   这是 Git 和其它非分布式的版本控制系统，例如 SVN，CVS 等，最核心的区别。

2. Git by the content metadata stored, and SVN is by file

   所有的资源控制系统都是把文件的元信息隐藏在一个类似 .svn、.cvs 等的文件夹里。

3. Git and SVN branch branches different

   分支在 SVN 中一点都不特别，其实它就是版本库中的另外一个目录。

4. Git is not a global version number, but there is SVN

   目前为止这是跟 SVN 相比 Git 缺少的最大的一个特征。

5. Git content integrity superior to SVN

   Git 的内容存储使用的是 SHA-1 哈希算法。
   
   这能确保代码内容的完整性，确保在遇到磁盘故障和网络问题时降低对版本库的破坏。
