I think that's actually a great example of how it may not be considerably exaggerated.

SVN is probably not the only piece of software where you can create a mess solely with the already released collision. It's more like a DOS, and less like actually injecting a malicious payload, but potentially still destructive.

Edit: Perhaps I'm missing the context of "considerably exaggerated"? Are there some examples of people saying the sky is falling?



One thing about git versus svn is that svn tends to be used more behind walls than outside of them and git is used both inside and outside.
