CENTRALIZED VERSION CONTROL SYSTEM HAVING HIGH AVAILABILITY

摘要

A Version Control System (VCS) and methods having high availability, and combining the advantages of a centralized VCS while overcoming the limitations of centralized VCSs in a cluster environment. The system and method copes with failures of components in a cluster environment gracefully to guarantee uptime. The VCS and methods support high availability in a centralized VCS utilizing a plurality of repositories having a suitable architecture. In particular embodiments the architecture utilizes one or more of: Active-Passive repository replication; Active-Passive repository replication with automatic recovery; Active-Active repository replication; and hybrid model (Active-Active and Passive repository replication).
