Is there any specific reason why Apple integrated ONLY git support in Xcode and not SVN? I know there are workarounds to make svn work in Xcode but they seem like pain compared to intuitive setup of git.

    • Because more users asked for Git than for Subversion?
    • Because Subversion support doesn’t really make sense without support for managing and setting up Subversion repositories, which would be more complex (and thus expensive to implement) than Git support?
    • Because Git is cool and hip, and Apple wants to be, too?
    • Because someone, somewhere, flipped a coin?
    • Because it was added at roughly the same time as Ruby support, and Git is the dominant VCS in the Ruby community?

    You’d really have to ask someone at Apple.
