Technical Information
Table explanation
- Software: The name of the application that is described.
- Programming language: The coding language in which the application is being developed
- History model: describes the form in which changes are stored in the repository. For example, when a change is committed, a system could store a copy of the tree before and after the change (snapshot), or it might instead store a copy of the tree before the change and a changeset representing the changes.
- Scope of change: Describes whether changes are recorded for individual files or for entire directory trees.
- Revision IDs: are used internally to identify specific versions of files in the repository. Systems may use pseudorandom identifiers, content hashes of revisions, or filenames with sequential version numbers (namespace). With Integrated Difference, revisions are based on the Changesets themselves, which can describe changes to more than one file.
- Network protocols: lists the protocols used for synchronization of changes.
- Source code size: Gives the size of the source code in megabytes.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or information:
“In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in.”
