For an excellent survey of configuration management systems, I recommend the
following paper by Conradi and Westfechtel, available at:
ftp://ftp-i3.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/reports/CW98.ps.gz
It is titled, "Version Models for Software Configuration Management", and is
the best overview of the field of versioning research I have seen to date,
considered a must-read for versioning and CM researchers in any discipline.
