ABSTRACT
Version control software, sometimes called SCM (Source Code Management), helps you manage a software project.
It provides a common repository that stores the code to be shared.
It deals with merging changes two people made to the same piece of software.
It records changes made to the software so you can track who changed what.
It lets you back out changes to any point in time in case you have trouble with newly written code.
The granddaddy of these schemes was called PVCS, Polytron Version Control System. It was extraordinarily difficult to use. CVS with the WincVS GUI was much simpler. Subversion came along to solve the problems of:
tracking file and directory renames.
ensuring stores to the respository are treated atomically.
BitKeeper is yet another advance.
