Topic: Source control


  
  Revision control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revision control (also known as version control or source control) is the management of multiple revisions of the same unit of information.
It is most commonly used in engineering and software development to manage ongoing development of digital documents like application source code, art resources such as blueprints or electronic models and other critical information that may be worked on by a team of people.
Traditionally, revision control systems have used a centralized model, where all the revision control functions are performed on a shared server.

 Introducing Source Control
Source control in Visual Studio also enforces protocols for the control of database accesses, for example, the Lock-Modify-Unlock work style, in which a user who wants to modify a file must check it out exclusively.
When you request an operation for which change propagation is enabled, the source control plug-in changes your working copy of the source-controlled item, the master copy in the database, and the copies of other users when you check in the item and the other users retrieve it.
The source control view of a solution or project, which you see in a standalone application, such as Visual SourceSafe Explorer, is also a logical view of a solution or project.

 Source control and configuration management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Typically a source control system maintains a repository of source files containing not only the current (newest) versions of the files, but also a complete history of all changes from the first time the file was put into the repository.
For example one source repository may need to be used as a base on which to build two different repositories, resulting in a "fork" of the software development processes.
Change tracking: Source control maintains a history of the evolution of the code, which is useful to determine when a change was made, and who made it.

 What is source control
If a developer wants to modify a file, he performs checkout (informs others that he is going to modify that file); when the modification is done, he uploads (or checks in) the file to the server.
Moreover, source control systems provide some additional useful functions such as: comparison of versions (visual), rollback, notifications, tags, branches, history, locks and so on.
Due to these functions using of source control is helpful for a single developer in his work, since it makes backup of different versions of a source code unnecessary.
