The manner and goal for which this process is applied over +multiple files is highly dependent on the application, and most of +the time is driven by custom user scripts. + +For example, a configuration management engineer in a company might +provide some kind of merge policing environment, that allows software +developers to review changes in files for the purpose of accepting or +rejecting a submitted changeset to a codebase. Another example is +that of a developer wishing to review the changes he made to a +checkout of files from a source-code management system such as CVS, +Subversion, ClearCase, Perforce, etc. |
