Version Control Systems

Revision control, also called version control and source control, is the management of changes to documents, computer programs, large web sites and other collections of information. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. Revisions can be compared, restored and merged.
