Book recommendations for writing a version control system?
Posted by pascaldamian@icqmail.com on March 27th, 2005


Any recommendation on helpful books for implementing a version control
system? Among the topics I'd like to see are: the basics (what defines
a version control system, the theories), a survey/explanation on
various existing merging techniques and their pros & contras, a survey
on various existing products out there (including at least CVS,
Subversion, arch) and their strengths & weaknesses.

Regards,
Pascal Damian

book on building a database would probably work.

Revisioningly, Bill.
