I'm not trying to get in an ego stroking contest here, I'm just providing anecdata.

I worked with SVN for ~4 years and git for ~4 more. What StevePerkins was asking was perfectly clear to me after about three seconds of thinking. Of course, in an interview, I would be sure to parrot back my understanding of the question. :)

FWIW, you and I understood his question to mean the same thing.

I feel the same way, with approximately the same number of years of experience with each. And I definitely have strong opinions on the answer to the question :)
