Appendix B. Tool Support for SCM Patterns
with Bob Ventimiglia[1]
This appendix describes how the SCM patterns in this book map to the concepts implemented by several commonly used software version control (VC) tools (see Table B-1). The intent is not to give the operational details for a “cookbook” or “how-to” but to refer to the tool-specific mechanisms and how they work together to support our SCM patterns. This should provide a conceptual base for looking up detailed usage instructions in the product documentation.
