A source code control architecture. A client user checks out a copy of a source code file to the client using a file checkout process. A client cache maintains a pristine copy of the file, and a client activity list maintains a list of commands executed during the offline mode to effect modifications to the copy. The client cache contains a pristine copy of all source code files that are modified or deleted in a local client workspace. The cache is maintained whether the user is online or offline. When the user is offline, the cache is utilized to facilitate many of the activities that historically would require server connectivity. The command activity list allows a developer to continue changing the source code while offline by automatically recording the executed commands. The offline commands are reconciled to the server, and used to update the server file(s) when the client returns online.

The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate software development activities via the concept of “Shelving” which provides an improved alternative to conventional branching technologies in certain scenarios. In one aspect, a software development system is provided. The system includes a shelving component that captures a current state of an intermediate software design. A version control component processes the intermediate design as if the intermediate design were a completed software design.

A version control system such as may be used in an information management system for a source code development project. Multiple versions of artifacts are stored in the version control system. Some versions are stored in uncompressed form while others are stored in compressed form. The artifacts selected to be stored in compressed form are selected to facilitate rapid retrieval of files. The compression process is such that the compression may be performed as a background operation.
