So that's a great chance for all of us to prove we can do better this time. We have at least two more names in the pool: VCS = version control system/software RCS = revision control system/software The former seems more common to me though the second seems prefered in wikipedia: - "Version_control" forwards to "Revision control" - "Comparison of revision control software" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software I'd still propose "dev-vcs", unless someone spots something bad about it.
