Hmmm. VCSes are pretty strongly on the practical side of software development, so I’m not sure that the ivory tower types have done a lot of formal study of them. You frequently hear of new CS grads showing up at their first job having never used any VCS. Still, some digging in the ACM Digital Library turned up these papers, which look to be the sort of thing you’re after: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1500879.1500959 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1761628.1761684 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1789074.1789084 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1267680.1267708 I rejected a bunch of hits along the lines of “why use a VCS” or analyses of the practice and customs associated with a particular VCS, because you’ve already drunk the kool-aid and don’t seem to be interested in anthropology. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
