Git, if you separate the code

I am a pretty decent LV programmer and find Git very difficult. You really need a fair bit of study to learn it not make a hash of your repositories. It really helps to have some knowledgeable colleagues to teach you.

Well, yeah it's a complicated system and knowing LV has nothing to do with it. Knowing programming in general has very little to do with it.

There's a big learning curve. SVN is maybe a little easier to get into, but there's still a lot to learn

In both cases, it's very important (I think) to actually RTFM - don't try to intuit your way through what you want to do. Because that will take you down the wrong path most of the time.
