Title: Comparing distributed version control systems

Abstract

Distributed version control systems have been around since the early 1990s but have only recently become mature. In this presentation two revision control tools of the new generation, which is peer-to-peer in nature, will be compared to the more traditional version control systems, represented by Subversion. The presentation will primarily focus on the ideas behind these tools in order to give a general understanding of most, if not all, of the current revision control software available today.
