I have used SVN.
for all the complaints about git, kids these days don't know how good they have it. back in the day we used CVS. Anytime you wanted to change a file you needed to get in your car, drive to CVS, go to the pharmacist counter and ask to check out the file.

Jeremiah Ostriker, Who Plumbed Dark Forces That Shape Universe, Dies at 86
There’s more to the universe than meets the eye, he found. His studies led astronomy to the dark side, changing our view of what’s out there.

ARC has “paused” future rounds of grant schemes pending outcomes of its NCGP Policy Review.
All schemes previously scheduled to open before 1 July this year will go ahead.
But next year’s Laureates, Industry Fellowships & Discovery Indigenous won’t.

Seems like nothing major has changed since 1989 (found this proceedings in my book shelf at home). I think it was the first east meets west magnetic fields meeting!
