Source Code Management AKA Configuration Management Or How I learned to Stop Worrying (As Much) and Hate My Co-workers Less

Branching


•	When a new version ships, typically create

	a branch in the version tree for maintenance

•	Double update: fix a defect in the latest

	version and then merge the changes (often

	by hand) into the maintenance version

•	Also create personal versions so you can

	make a change against a stable source base

	and then merge in the latest version later
