Doug:
I have been considering this matter for some time...
It seems that software development in the non-U2 world revolves around huge
Maven scripts to re-compile builds of vast dynasties of code. The U2 VOC
concept makes all of this hassle go away. With VOC, we just update the single
program that I am working on with a new Rev.ID. Menus and other programs just
launch what is in VOC. The program's rev is specified in VOC. The calling
program just references VOC... the latest revision is specified in VOC. Thus,
this scheme is modular.
It is not clear to me how SubVersion and GIT developers refer to the latest rev
of their subs. Also the reverse...what programs use the subs. This is where
OSGI fits in. I have heard rumblings that people are working on an
Eclipse-compatible OSGI SCM thing. OSGI is worth learning about. OSGI is a
configuration tool that grew up out of the cell phone industry to handle config
control on say, a Nokia family of products.
A MultiValue database for rev control makes a lot of sense.
1)While this scheme is editor independent, Eclipse has some nice functionality
that could be leveraged.
2) While this scheme is intended for code, it works the same way for procs,
paragraphs, and dictionaries.
3) The updates are on a program-by-program basis, that is, NOT batch.
4) The updates are known to be applied because the screen that shows all of the
revs, also shows what is in VOC right then. If the new program has a bug, it
is easy just to roll back to the prior rev in VOC.

I think the idea of Distributed Version Control System (DVSC) has some merit
for certain applications. Google Code supports Subversion, and Mercurial and
maybe others in its DVSC system. Several of our customers make us jump through
hoops to get at their source code. So you are now thinking about storing
source code on Google servers that replicate all over the world.
The problems that I can envision are overwhelming my head here in Colorado,
maybe it's the altitude. I better go outside and take a breather...
I'm back and I have a few questions:
1) What editor are you using?
2) How are you going to wrap the editor calls to capture the source code, the
procs, the paragraphs, the voc changes, and the dictionaries changes to Google.
3) Are using real-time or batch updates?
4) How to you know your updates were applied?

Doug

Thanks everyone for your replies.
As it looks like I will now be hosting on google code (as its free) I have a
choice of subversion or mercurial.
Weekend reading will be in order...
Cheers,
djm
