Subversion is a free/open source centralized version control system (CVCS). It uses central server to store all files and enable team collaboration. That is, Subversion manages files and directories, and the changes made to them, over time. This allows you to recover older versions of your data or examine the history of how your data changed.
Subversion can operate across networks, which allows it to be used by people on different computers. At some level, the ability for various people to modify and manage the same set of data from their respective locations fosters collaboration. Progress can occur more quickly without a single conduit through which all modifications must occur. And because the work is versioned, you need not fear that quality is the trade-off for losing that conduit—if some incorrect change is made to the data, just undo that change.
Git is a version control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people. It is primarily used for source code management in software development, but it can be used to keep track of changes in any set of files. As a distributed revision control system it is aimed at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.
Git is much faster than Subversion
Subversion allows you to check out just a subtree of a repository; Git requires you to clone the entire repository (including history) and create a working copy that mirrors at least a subset of the items under version control.
Git's repositories are much smaller than Subversions (for the Mozilla project, 30x smaller)
Git was designed to be fully distributed from the start, allowing each developer to have full local control
Git branches are simpler and less resource heavy than Subversion's
Git branches carry their entire history.
Git provides better auditing of branch and merge events
Git's repo file formats are simple, so repair is easy and corruption is rare.
Backing up Subversion repositories centrally is potentially simpler - since you can choose to distributed folders within a repo in git
Git repository clones act as full repository backups
Subversion's UI is more mature than Git's
Walking through versions is simpler in Subversion because it uses sequential revision numbers (1,2, 3, ...); Git uses unpredictable SHA-1 hashes. Walking backwards in Git is easy using the "^" syntax, but there is no easy way to walk forward.
Ant was the first among “modern” build tools. In many aspects it is similar to Make. It was released in 2000 and in a short period of time became the most popular build tool for Java projects. It has very low learning curve thus allowing anyone to start using it without any special preparation. It is based on procedural programming idea. After its initial release, it was improved with the ability to accept plug-ins. Major drawback was XML as the format to write build scripts. XML, being hierarchical in nature, is not a good fit for procedural programming approach Ant uses. Another problem with Ant is that its XML tends to become unmanageably big when used with all but very small projects. Later on, as dependency management over the network became a must, Ant adopted Apache Ivy.
Main benefit of Ant is its control of the build process.
Maven was released in 2004. Its goal was to improve upon some of the problems developers were facing when using Ant. Maven continues using XML as the format to write build specification. However, structure is diametrically different. While Ant requires developers to write all the commands that lead to the successful execution of some task, Maven relies on conventions and provides the available targets (goals) that can be invoked. As the additional, and probably most important addition, Maven introduced the ability to download dependencies over the network (later on adopted by Ant through Ivy). That in itself revolutionized the way we deliver software. However, Maven has its own problems. Dependencies management does not handle conflicts well between different versions of the same library (something Ivy is much better at). XML as the build configuration format is strictly structured and highly standardized. Customization of targets (goals) is hard. Since Maven is focused mostly on dependency management, complex, customized build scripts are actually harder to write in Maven than in Ant. Maven configuration written in XML continuous being big and cumbersome. On bigger projects it can have hundreds of lines of code without actually doing anything “extraordinary”. Main benefit from Maven is its life-cycle. As long as the project is based on certain standards, with Maven one can pass through the whole life cycle with relative ease. This comes at a cost of flexibility. In the meantime, the interest for DSLs (Domain Specific Languages) continued increasing. The idea is to have languages designed to solve problems belonging to a specific domain. In case of builds, one of the results of applying DSL is Gradle.
Gradle combines good parts of both tools and builds on top of them with DSL and other improvements. It has Ant’s power and flexibility with Maven’s life-cycle and ease of use. The end result is a tool that was released in 2012 and gained a lot of attention in a short period of time. For example, Google adopted Gradle as the default build tool for the Android OS. Gradle does not use XML. Instead, it had its own DSL based on Groovy (one of JVM languages). As a result, Gradle build scripts tend to be much shorter and clearer than those written for Ant or Maven. The amount of boilerplate code is much smaller with Gradle since its DSL is designed to solve a specific problem: move software through its life cycle, from compilation through static analysis and testing until packaging and deployment. Initially, Gradle used Apache Ivy for its dependency management. Later own it moved to its own native dependency resolution engine. Gradle effort can be summed as “convention is good and so is flexibility”.
