Subject: Distributed vs Centralised SCM? - by: robertc

The requirements for developing something like Linux are certainly different to those for many commercial organisations IMO.

Some of this comes from comments on the posting I made about an upcoming BCS CMSG talk on 25 Nov in London (which directly addresses the theme):
