Software Configuration Management Patterns ─ Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration

Offers software developers working in small teams advice on using software configuration management practices more effectively, particularly for version control. The authors overview the software configuration management (SCM) pattern language, and define nine patterns that describe the structure of a workspace, such as the private system build and smoke test, and seven patterns that describe the structure of codelines, such as the active development line and task branch.
