Compositing deltas when merging artifacts in a version control system

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to merging artifacts in a version control system and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for compositing deltas when merging artifacts in a version control system. In one embodiment, a method for compositing deltas for artifacts can be provided. The method can include generating deltas for a contributor artifact of an ancestor artifact, identifying interrelated ones of the deltas and grouping the interrelated ones of the deltas into a composited set of deltas. The method further can include rendering the composited set of deltas in a hierarchical view of a compare view for a version control data processing system in a development platform.

1. A method for compositing deltas for artifacts, the method comprising:
generating in a compare view of a versioning system executing in memory of a computer, a plurality of deltas for a contributor artifact of an ancestor artifact and the ancestor artifact; identifying by a processor of the computer interrelated ones of the deltas; grouping by the processor in the compare view the interrelated ones of the deltas into a composited set of deltas; and, managing by the processor the composited set of deltas as a group while disallowing managing of individual ones of the interrelated deltas in the composited set of deltas.
