Flow of Change
Abstract
Are your software engineers dazed and confused by the repository that stores their work? Do iterative development, team collaboration, and parallel releases challenge your ability to keep track of evolving software? Is your company's version control methodology more complicated than the software it produces? In this presentation we'll take a step back from specific tools to explore the protocols, conventions, and etiquette of branching and merging. Using the ideal world as our model, we'll see how complicated, procedural rules can be replaced with a handful of simple, easy-to-recognize relationships between fundamental containers of software in development.
