5. Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set
of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later.
Centralized version control
ex: SVN, Perforce,TFS
Distributed version control
ex: Git, Mercurial (Hg)Plastic SCM

12.  Repository
Stores a complete directory tree
& the entire development
history of the directory tree
 Workspace
Is just a directory tree on your
computer , with a two-way data
path to a repository

13.  Items
Consist of files, directories,
and symbolic links that are
under source control
 Changeset
Each time you check in a set
of new revisions, Plastic SCM
records the entire set of
revisions as a changeset .

14.  Branches and Labels
 Plastic SCM supports
"parallel development" or
"concurrent development"
practice with branches
 A label is a user-defined
name that can be attached
to a changeset

15.  Branch ExplorerView / Distributed Branch Explorer
 Provides an interactive diagram of repository's development activity
 It shows: Branch hierarchy, individual changesets, merge operations

16.  Xlinks
Plastic SCM encourages using separate repositories for different projects
and components, and access shared components by "mounting" them in
the project repository through Xlinks

17.  Code Review
 A code review is essentially about reading code and
leaving comments.
 Plastic SCM organizes the conducting of reviews on
individual changesets or on entire branches.

18.  DistributedVersion Control

19.  SyncView
The new synchronization view lets you configure your
relations with other servers and replicate with a single click
all the changes

21.  Trigger
Allows the execution of user commands at certain
points in the client or server execution workflow
 Task & IssueTracking
provides integration with diverse control tracking
tools such as Bugzilla, DevTrack, Mantis, OnTime,
Trac, JIRA,VersionOne, FogBugZ and Rally.
