Thanks for that article, Mark. I was especially intrigued by the description of "distributed revision control" as opposed to "centralized revision control". Subversion of course, offers centralized control, but the interface that we've been discussing with the IBM i library-file system, adds a number of possible "distributed" elements.
Under distributed systems, the article states "Common operations (such as commits, viewing history, and reverting changes) are fast, because there is no need to communicate with a central server." That might be the case if check-out & check-in operations were performed against IBM i library files, and the IFS during the day. But where synchronization with a Subversion repository were performed under a nightly batch process.

Hi, Nathan:
Not necessarily disagreeing with anything you are saying.
Here is a really good wiki web site that explains most of these
open-source revision control systems:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control
This wiki has good historical background as well as many links to other
web pages explaining the various version control tools, etc.
Cheers,
