Peer-to-Peer Based Version Control

Many software projects are developed by globally distributed teams. The nature of the peer-to-peer paradigm fits to such an application scenario. However, existing tools to support developer require a central instance, like it is the case in version control, which is crucial for software development. This paper address the challenges version control faces in a purely peer-to-peer environment and presents a peer-to-peer based version control system we developed. We will evolve this basic approach, adding more features like change-set version control.
