That doesn't matter. The repository will warn you about that, and the
chances of somebody else making changes on the exact same lines of
code in a  project is very small.

svn, git, hg etc are all tools a developer should know well. I can't
imagine any software project without a repository of some sorts. I
only use git, and I don't even write a test app without initialising a
git repository. And while developing even a test app, I commit often.
This gives me unlimited undo functionality. Oh, and in case you didn't
know, git doesn't require a public repository or a repository server.

I got no idea why you think that?
I can say that on average projects a full history git repository takes
up much less space than a single revision checkout in SVN. So from a
hard drive space point of view, git uses less space. Just so you know,
when I develop from home, it is on a 8 year old Dell laptop. It is
definitely not the fastest computer on the block (compared to today's
standards), but it still works perfectly for Free Pascal based
development work.
