Branching and Merging<br />

Revisions<br />

KEY TERMS: branching, merging, merge result file<br />

10<br />

As your projects evolve, you may need to branch members to facilitate<br />

development in multiple directions. When you want to combine the<br />

development occurring on different branches, you can merge the revisions.<br />

You may also want to merge revisions that are part of the same Member<br />

History to incorporate earlier development into the current development<br />

of the member, or vice versa. Source Integrity allows you to merge two<br />

revisions and the corresponding working file into a single merged revision<br />

with the <strong>MKS</strong> Visual Merge tool.<br />

This chapter explains the branching and merging tasks and the different<br />

ways you can complete them.<br />
