Version Control (cont)

Manual solution to above problems:
  • Ann requests/receives a copy of x.c v2.1 from Manager
  • Bob requests/receives a copy of x.c v2.1 from Manager
  • Ann sends her new version of x.c back to Manager
  • Bob sends his new version of x.c back to Manager
  • Manager ensures that all changes are incorporated
    • might need to ask Ann and Bob for help if changes conflict
  • Manager sets up the merged version as v2.2 of x.c
  • Col requests/receives a copy of x.c v2.2 from Manager
Problem: eventually Manager is overwhelmed with requests.
