Welcome to the Revctrl wiki, where we discuss various revision control systems, and the software and algorithms used to implement them.

- ["Glossary"] -- some of the technical terms we casually throw around here
ConceptTable -- some of the technical terms other revision control systems used. Helps when 2 systems use different terms for the same idea.

[http://communitywiki.org/odd/SoftwareBazaar/WikiNode the Software Bazaar wiki] mentions [http://communitywiki.org/odd/SoftwareBazaar/distributed_wiki the distributed wiki] which has some similarities to a distributed version control system.
[http://alliance.seas.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/wiki/index.php?n=Main.WikiNode the Unison wiki] discusses Unison, a tool for rapidly synchronizing 2 directories over a slow network connection. It can be used as a crude revision control system (backups), or it can be used in conjunction with a standard revision control system to speed up check-ins and check-outs over a slow connection.
