Why Software Configuration Management?
SCM creates sound software engineering practice by tracking and controlling changes to your files during development. Configuration Management permits you to establish code baselines from which revisions are tracked so that changes are marked with the time and identity of the person who made them. By utilizing revision control you can easily recall previous revisions of a single file, or even an entire code release. You can merge individual changes and audit any stage of the development process.
