A project to provide change control for OpenOffice.org documents via SVN. Transparently checks in internal changes in files and allows users to recover any previous version, view logs and compare with older versions. Works under Unix/Linux and Mac OSX.

Most software version control systems provide mechanisms for branching into multiple lines of development and merging source code from one development line into another. However, the techniques, policies and guidelines for using these mechanisms are often misapplied or not fully understood. This is unfortunate, since the use or misuse of branching and merging can make or break a parallel software development project. Streamed Lines is a pattern language for organizing related lines of development into appropriately diverging and converging streams of source code changes.

Elliotte Rusty Harold introduces Subversion, an open source, multiuser version control system that supports non-ASCII text and binary data. Follow along as Elliotte shows you how to configure Subversion support in Eclipse (via the Subclipse plug-in), check out a project, synchronize with your repository, and then run common operations such as merge, patch, diff, and delete.

This is a comparison of version-control systems. It is split into several categories and sub-categories under which the systems are checked.
