A TV Tropes [[Wiki Tropes|Wiki Trope]] involving the [[You Keep Using That Word|loose usage]] of the term "[[Subverted Trope|subversion]]".
Line 28:
Sometimes, when people talk of "Partial Subversion", they mean [[Downplayed Trope]], where the trope is still present, but to a much lesser degree.
 
=== [[Subverted Trope]] vs. [[Playing Withwith a Trope]] ===
Beware ye these abominable [[Weasel Words]] that refer to various methods of [[Playing Withwith a Trope]]:
 
* "Slightly subverted in that..."
Line 50:
** A lot of people have been switching to Subversion, though. Then there are those who use [http://git-scm.com/ Git], and the fewer still who use [http://bazaar-vcs.org Bazaar].
** SVN (Subversion) is actually pretty common, especially on newer or larger open-source projects (the newer ones have no reason to use the defunct CVS, the larger ones have constant pressure to upgrade). In a subversion of the gradual change from CVS to SVN, changing projects over to various distributed version control systems has been slower because of the automatic holy wars already emerging among the three major DVCS contenders: Git, Bazaar, and Mercurial (hg).
** If you play [[Garrys Mod|Garry's Mod]] a lot, you'll notice that a lot of the more popular [[Game Mod|mods for the game]] use SVN. This is because they tend to update very frequently (Wiremod updates ''almost every day''), and it's nice to be able to update to the newest version with a simple right click -> SVN Update, as opposed to going back to the website and downloading more content every day. Furthermore, you can update several mods from several sites at once this way if you select multiple folders.
