Question 2 • SC-Fundamentals of Computing - Content Recovery - Design & Development

Which of the following statements about version control are true? Select 3 options.

Answer
A
With distributed version control, multiple copies of the entire project are maintained on the developers’ computers.
B
Early version control systems needed to use locks to keep files synchronized, but newer version control systems do not use locks at all.
C
In a centralized version control system, the project files are stored in a repository or database on a server.
D
Git and Mercurial are examples of distributed version control systems.
E
Version control systems can only be used by teams of developers, rather than individuals.

Explanation

In distributed version control, each developer typically has a full copy of the project and its history, so A is true. A centralized system keeps the project repository on a server, making C true; Git and Mercurial are distributed systems, so D is true. B is false because some newer systems still support file locking, and version control is useful to individuals as well as teams, so E is false.
