Version Control System

Version Control System is the management of multiple revisions of the same unit of information. It is most commonly used in engineering and software development to manage ongoing development of application source code, and other critical information that may be worked on by a team of people. Changes to these documents are identified by incrementing an associated number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision" and associated historically with the person making the change. A simple form of revision control, for example, has the initial issue of a drawing assigned the revision number "1". When the first change is made, the revision number is incremented to "2" and so on.
