SVK
SVK (also written svk) is a decentralized version control system written in Perl, with a design comparable to BitKeeper and GNU arch. The primary author of svk is Chia-liang Kao, and it is distributed under Perl's Artistic License. It uses the Subversion filesystem but provides additional features: - Offline operations like checkin, log, merge.
- Distributed branches.
- Lightweight checkout copy management (no .svn directories).
- Advanced merge algorithms, like star-merge and cherry picking.
- Changeset signing and verification.
- Can mirror and operate on Subversion, Perforce and CVS repositories.
