GIT — a lightweight super fast version control system originally developed by Linus Torvalds. If you have time to experiment check it out. Branching and merging are meant to be super simple. I like using the word ’super’ today!!!!!

If you’ve ever worked on a code base that had multiple development branches and a maintanence branch, you’ll appreciate the new Merge Tracking feature in SubVersion 1.5. SubVersion has always supported merging but it was hard to determine what code from which branch was merged into which other branch at what point in time (hope thats not too confusing). ….but if you happen to be working on a project that has lots of sub-development on separate branches and bug fixes happening on a maintanence branch, Merge Tracking is all good news I can’t wait for the updated GUI for Eclipse.
