Additionally, SVN, CVS, and the like, all tend to take the "Build the
world" view ... where you check out the entire project and all it's
dependencies and build everything.

System i change control is far more oriented towards incremental build
... where you change one program, put your development library high on
your library list, compile, and test.

I would be interested to hear a summary of how that works.

Implementer is one part of MKS's change control system.  MKS Source is
available for Unix & NT development.  And our MKS Integrity product ties
everything together.
