This is the second comment I've seen in this thread comparing "Gitflow" to what was typical in SVN. Having been there when SVN was in vogue, I can assure you that our process looked nothing like Gitflow. SVN encourages what we now refer to as "trunk based development". The default branch was even called "trunk".

I was used to SVN too, and you’re right about the trunk bit. I’m mainly talking about SVN’s nicely linear revision numbers and how it was unambiguous that r23 came after r22. That’s the part that GitFlow adherents wanted to simulate.
