Tony Stevenson, on the Apache infrastructure team, seems to think it is: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7524?page=com.at...

Although the discussion is still ongoing. Either it's real or they've really put some serious effort into this one and I will be quite impressed!

I read their Jira thread, and I was convinced it was a joke, too. The project manager mentioned some poll that no one else had heard of, and then other people kept coming up with reasons as to why it made sense to have had a short poll for such a major issue. I just assumed they were stringing everyone else along. :P

Honestly, if this isn't a joke, I think it doesn't really make SVN look bad (or dead). SVN's remaining proponents keep arguing that it works well in a corporate environment, while they agree that git is better for large, open-source projects. Well, SVN is a large, open-source project.

I'm still betting it's a joke, though.
