The revolution is over; distributed version control has won.
But what makes a version control system "distributed" and why are such systems considered desirable?
In this session we take a look back through the history of version control and ways in which the essential features of version control have been provided.
We examine the assumptions and myths surrounding version control and how they have shaped products over time.
We also look at the features and innovations that have been developed over the history of version control, learning from some of the most influential products.
Finally, we make an attempt to determine what current "truths" about version control are actually myths and what might be holding us back from the next revolution in version control.
