I can confirm that Phabricator was originally written for SVN (as that is what is used internally at Facebook). The ability to have Phabricator host repositories was something it only gained around the time we started looking at migrating to it. Prior to that it had exclusively been a repository viewer and code review tool (and I suspect the code review part predates the repository viewer component) > > > Cheers, > Eike Cheers, Ben
