SCM - Software Configuration Management

This page is dedicated to the research of the ultimate free-software SCM system. It is intended to gather:

• Thoughts about what an SCM system should do;
• Feature comparisons between existing tools;
• Other ideas of interest if needed.

I see the SCM software domain as being possible to divide into a couple of near-distinct sub-domains, most of which already have been addressed by several tools.

In each of those sub-domains, we need to identify criteria to be used for relative evaluation of existing tools, as well as key features and key design principles.

Other SCM-related stuff on this site

• Old CVSps stuff
• Old thoughts (summer '03) about the ideal version-control tool I'd like to use. Not that much old-fashionned, although my experience with git now alters a couple of things there.
• My StGit public repo (although those days I mostly post patches for git and related programs directly to the mailing list).
