ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for managing software configurations include a version history member representing changes between versions of artifacts forming different configurations of a subject software program. Indicated in version history member is any selective merge between artifact versions. Also indicated in the version history member is any subtractive merge between artifact versions. A selective merge arc and a subtractive merge arc are respective examples.
