Who we are

We are the developers of Plastic SCM, a full version control stack (not a Git variant). We work on the strongest branching and merging you can find, and a core that doesn't cringe with huge binaries and repos. We also develop the GUIs, mergetools and everything needed to give you the full version control stack.

If you want to give it a try, download it from here.

We also code SemanticMerge, and the gmaster Git client.

Plastic SCM server address changed, what now?

Tuesday, July 22, 2014 Ma Nu 0 Comments

Sometimes you just need to change the server IP or port because of security reasons; sometimes the server is moved somewhere else and then the address changes. Ideally the IT team will notify you about the change and you’ll have time to prepare it.

Now we’ll review the steps you will need to follow to achieve a smooth transition.

Prior to taking full responsibility of support, I worked as software engineer. I have been in charge of load testing for quite some time, so if you want to know how well Plastic compares to SVN or P4 under a really heavy load, I'm your guy.

Securing a Plastic SCM system

Tuesday, July 15, 2014 calbzam 0 Comments

The two main motivations behind the Plastic SCM security system are:

  • Provide a mechanism to control access to the repositories and restrict certain operations.
  • Define custom policies for both development and deployment. Even in widely open organizations, the access to certain parts of a repository can be restricted, not only for security related reasons but to prevent mistakes.

After installing Plastic SCM, you can check that any authenticated user of the system will have full access granted.

As a Plastic SCM product expert, I try to help teams moving from other version controls on a daily basis, decide strategies, train developers, answer questions, run benchmarks ...

How to undo a merge

UPDATE January 14, 2020: Learn more about subtractive merges in the Plastic Book or in the Advanced version control pocket guide.


Reasons to undo a merge

There’s no software free of bugs which means you’ll deal, sooner or later, with a branch that introduces a bug.

Hopefully your automatic test suite will detect it. Otherwise an unhappy customer will do it for you. In either case you will need to revert a merge to remove the functionality that is causing the issue and then you’ll have make the release stable again.

There’s also another reason to undo a merge that doesn’t mean you’ve a nasty bug: sometimes you simply need to remove a task branch because the team changed their mind and decided to postpone it to a future release.
