distributed version control systems (DVCS) Comparisions
![]()
I was reading some blogs about the subject and I wanted to get some feedback on how RTC/Jazz fits into the discussion. The main factor to be classified as a DVCS seems to be the ability to have a local copy of the repository to work offline with. RTC seems to have this ability with the concept of workspaces, right? You could load a project and thus have all the code locally on your machine. It's when you perform a check-in operation that you would have to have a network connection to commit the change set?
So of the products mentioned in the various blogs are Git, Mercurial and Bazaar. |

RTC-SCM, like most SCM systems, has a local "file area" that contains
the files that you have downloaded from the repository, so you can make changes to those files while you are disconnected from the network. But a DVCS system actually has a local repository that lets you do all SCM operations while you are disconnected from the network (browse the history, do checkins/merges/whatever). This is not the case for RTC-SCM .... the workspace data is stored in the RTC repository, and you must be connected to that repository to browse the history, do checkins, do merges, etc. Cheers, Geoff rjcarter wrote: I was reading some blogs about the subject and I wanted to get some |
