The introduction needs to state that "Distributed" version control is a special type of "revision system" (or something like that). I think that the very long quote in the introduction should be removed, and the information should be paraphrased instead. Using a long quote at the very beginning breaks up the introduction and makes it awkward to read. The definition is a good one but could simply be reworded. A later sentence could list the possible synonyms.[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 20:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC) | |||

I went to the Penn library online course guide, selected the very first database (ABI/Inform), and got this hit on "distributed version control": O'sullivan, Bryan. "Making Sense of Revision-Control Systems." Communications of the ACM 52.9 (2009):56. http://elinks.library.upenn.edu/sfx_local?genre=article;sid=ProQ%3A;atitle=Making%20Sense%20of%20Revision-Control%20Systems;title=Association%20for%20Computing%20Machinery.%20Communications%20of%20the%20ACM;issn=00010782;date=2009-09-01;volume=52;issue=9;spage=56;au=Bryan%20O%27sullivan This would make a useful supplement to this article.Pat Palmer 20:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
