The Next Step in DVCS
Distributed version control systems (DVCS) such as Mercurial and Git support the ability to push and pull changesets between instances of a repository, providing versioned storage of filesystem content.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this concept could be used for database content, using records instead of files and directories?
This would allow us to extend the DVCS model to support other team tools like bug tracking and project management, while providing better administration features like user accounts.
This presentation is about the experience of designing and implementing just such a system.
The presentation will be technical, given by the principal designer and implementor of the code. All of the code in the presentation is open source. Nothing “for sale” will be mentioned.
