Not so much because of the directory structure but because of the<br>
content. We use svn for the ExternalLibraries thorns, which contain a<br>
tarball of the library (in case no copy is found on the system).<br>
<br>
Since git downloads the full version history (by default, and shallow,<br>
--depth 1 checkouts do not work for us when using branches) we did not<br>
want to use git for those (since eg the MPI ExternalLibrary repo is<br>
~172MB of "old" commits and ~10MB of checked out files. svn can<br>
download a single revision more easily.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
