| | Revision control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Software tools for revision control are increasingly recognized as being necessary for most software development projects. | | | Software developers sometimes use revision control software to maintain documentation and configuration files as well as source code. | | | One of the leading proponents of distributed revision control is Linus Torvalds, developer of the Linux kernel. |

| | Ch 23 -- Introduction to Revision Control |
| | Demonstrate essential revision control concepts, such as creating revisions, checking changes in and out of the system, how file changes are logically organized and how the systems can be used to easily move between file revisions. | | | Chapter 26 covers SCCS, which is the simplest of the revision control systems to learn, and is the system that is most frequently bundled with UNIX variants. | | | Revision numbers can be thought of as extending revision control's similarity to UNIX file systems. |

| | freshmeat.net: Project details for arch revision control system |
| | Revisions are fully optimized caches for revision control use. | | | Keep in mind that many of Arch's design decisions emphasize robustness and simplicity over localized "common-case" optimizations which make presumptions about intended use-cases, with Tom's observations wrt how such optimizations are inappropriate given the state of modern computing hardware as the usual backing evidence. | | | Moreover, you can have libraires in multiple locations, a very useful feature when you work in different devices or computers or when you want to share libraries in a development group. |

| | An Idea for a Revision Control System |
| | In order for this to work, the revision packaging system has to be capable of handling changes to any type of file, changes to directory structure, and logs of activities. | | | With this system, you would select the revisions you want to apply, and can specify that one is more important than another. | | | When the revision is created, this development log file is packaged with the revision. |

| | Replicated revision control system (RRCS) is suitable for use in a wide-area distributed computing environment in which computing nodes may fail at any time and the communication network may undergo temporary communication failures or communication partitions. | | | This system has been developed by extending an existing revision control system (RCS). | | | It efficiently maintains different versions of the source code files that the group members are developing and makes them available on their local machines. |

| | Both RCS and SCCS have comands for viewing revision history, but these commands (rlog and prs) work on a file at a time, i.e., first all the informationfrom one file, then the next, etc. Sccslog sorts the changes by time across all files, which is a much more intuitive way to view the data. | | | There is a SCCS file browser which displays a graphical view of the file's revision history and gives you a text widget in which you can see revision history log entries, diffs, or any version of the file. | | | User, revision, date, file name prefices - files may be viewed with any combination of the listed fields in front of each line in the file. |

| | Concurrent Versions System, CVS, Tools for CVS, Revision Control, Build System Interacts With CVS |
| | The Concurrent Versions System (CVS), also known as the Concurrent Versioning System, implements a version control system: it keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, typically the implementation of a software project, and allows several (potentially widely separated) developers to collaborate. | | | Using CVS (Concurrent Versions System) in the most straightforward manner possible, each developer will have a copy of the entire source tree which is used in a particular build. | | | Another approach is to set up a structure which allows developers to have their own copies of some files, and for other files to access source files from a central location. |

| | Personal info for jblack |
| | Any developer that chooses a non-distributed revision control system has also made development more difficult for non-sanctioned developers, which I'll dive into more deeply some other day. | | | The logic goes something like this: With a distributed revision control system any user can branch a project and not offer merges back into the mainline. | | | This fear, which is partially justified, presents with a variety of unhealthy behaviors: obfuscated code, poorly documented code, development plans happening in private backroom discussions rather than in public and centralizaton of control are only some of the tactics that some use in order to hold onto a project. |
