In a playful announcement originally intended as an April Fool's joke, Chris Wanstrath humorously suggests that the platform is transitioning from Git to Subversion, dubbed "SVNHub," due to Git being too novel and complex. Despite the jest, this post also hints at the introduction of SVN support as a real feature, following a slowdown in the rollout of new site features. The message playfully addresses the challenges of explaining Git to a non-technical audience, humorously framing the decision to revert to Subversion as a simpler alternative.
