Codeville is a distributed version control system. It began with a novel
|
||
|
|
idea for a merge algorithm and has grown from there. It is designed to
|
||
|
|
be easy to use and scale from small personal projects to very large
|
||
|
|
distributed ones. If you'd like to know why there is a need for new
|
||
|
|
merge algorithms, consider what the lead monotone developer had to say:

||

Codeville works by creating an identifier for each change which is
|
||
|
|
done, and remembering the list of all changes which have been applied
|
||
|
|
to each file and the last change which modified each line in each
|
||
|
|
file. When there's a conflict, it checks to see if one of the two
|
||
|
|
sides has already been applied to the other one, and if so makes
|
||
|
|
the other side win automatically. When there's an actual not
|
||
|
|
automatically mergeable version conflict, Codeville behaves in
|
||
|
|
almost exactly the same way as CVS.
