Table Explanation

Software: The name of the application that is described.
Maintainer: The company or group that is currently taking responsibility for the software's maintenance or development
Development Status: The current status of the software project
Repository model: describes the relationship between various copies of the source code repository. In a client–server model, users access a master repository via a client
Client (computing)
A client is an application or system that accesses a service made available by a server. The server is often on another computer system, in which case the client accesses the service by way of a network....

model, repositories act as peers, and users typically have a local repository with version history available, in addition to their working copies.
Concurrency model: describes how changes to the working copy are managed to prevent simultaneous edits from causing nonsensical data in the repository. In a lock model, changes are disallowed until the user requests and receives an exclusive lock on the file from the master repository. In a merge model, users may freely edit files, but are informed of possible conflicts upon checking their changes into the repository, whereupon the version control system may merge changes on both sides, or let the user decide when conflicts arise. Note that distributed version control almost always implies a merge concurrency model.
License: The license model under which the software is licensed. These can be both free and paid licenses
Platforms Supported: The operating systems that the software application currently supports.
Cost: The price of the software application

History model	Scope of change	Revision IDs	Network protocols	Source code size

Table explanation

Software: The name of the application that is described.
Programming language: The coding language in which the application is being developed
History model: describes the form in which changes are stored in the repository. For example, when a change is committed, a system could store a copy of the tree before and after the change (snapshot), or it might instead store a copy of the tree before the change and a changeset representing the changes.
Scope of change: Describes whether changes are recorded for individual files or for entire directory trees.
Revision IDs: are used internally to identify specific versions of files in the repository. Systems may use pseudorandom
Pseudorandomness
A pseudorandom process is a process that appears to be random but is not. Pseudorandom sequences typically exhibit statistical randomness while being generated by an entirely deterministic causal process...

identifiers, content hashes of revisions, or filenames with sequential version numbers (namespace). With Integrated Difference, revisions are based on the Changesets themselves, which can describe changes to more than one file.
Network protocols: lists the protocols used for synchronization of changes.
Source code size: Gives the size of the source code in megabytes.

Table Explanation

Software: The name of the application that is described.
Atomic commit
Atomic commit
An atomic commit is an operation in which a set of distinct changes is applied as a single operation. If the changes are applied then the atomic commit is said to have succeeded. If there is a failure before the atomic commit can be completed then all of the changes completed in the atomic commit...

s: refers to a guarantee that all changes made are merged, or that no change at all will be made.
File renames: describes whether a system allows files to be renamed while retaining their version history.
Merge file renames: describes whether a system can merge changes made to a file on one branch into the same file that has been renamed on another branch (or vice versa). If the same file has been renamed on both branches then there is a rename conflict that the user must resolve.
Symbolic link
Symbolic link
In computing, a symbolic link is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. Symbolic links were already present by 1978 in mini-computer operating systems from DEC and Data...

s: describes whether a system allows revision control of symbolic links as with regular files. Versioning symbolic links is considered by some people a feature and some people a security breach (e.g., a symbolic link to /etc/passwd). Symbolic links are only supported on select platforms, depending on the software.
Pre/post event hooks: indicates the capability to trigger commands before or after an action, such as a commit, takes place.
Signed revisions: refers to integrated digital signing of revisions, in a format such as OpenPGP.
Merge tracking: describes whether a system remembers what changes have been merged between which branches and only merges the changes that are missing when merging one branch into another.
End of line conversions: describes whether a system can adapt the end of line characters for text files such that they match the end of line style for the operating system under which it is used. The granularity of control varies. Subversion, for example, can be configured to handle EOLs differently according to the file type, whereas Perforce converts all text files according a single, per-client setting.

: indicates if meaningful names can be given to specific revisions, regardless of whether these names are called tags or labels.

software	keyword expansion	interactive commits	external references	partial checkout/clone	permissions	timestamp preservation	custom automatic merge tool	supported formats	shared build cache of derived objects

Table Explanation

keyword expansion: Supports automatic expansion of keywords such as file revision number.
interactive commits: Interactive commits allow the user to cherrypick the patch-hunks that become part of a commit (leaving unselected changes as changes in the working copy), instead of having only a file-level granularity. See darcs record.
external references: embedding of foreign repositories in the source tree
partial checkout/clone: Ability to check out or clone only a specified subdirectory from a repository.
permissions: Tracks file permission bits in the revision history.
timestamp preservation: Overwrites the last modified filesystem attribute with the commit time upon checkout.
custom automatic merge tool: Automatic merging can be attempted by any tool of the user's choice (hopefully configurable on a per-file basis)
supported formats: either read/write support or read-only (conversion, potentially repeated)
shared build cache of derived objects: the ability to wink-in derived-objects that were built by other confederated clients that share exactly the same dependencies instead of rebulidng them locally

Table explanation

Software: The name of the application that is described.
Web Interface: Describes whether the software application contains a web interface. A web interface could allow the software to post diagnostics data to a website, or could even allow remote control of the software application.
GUIs: A GUI is a graphical user interface. If a software product features a GUI its functionality can be accessed through application windows as opposed to accessing functionality based upon typing commands at the command prompt such as a DOS interface.
Plug-ins: functionality is available through an Integrated Development Environment. Minimum functionality should be to list the revision state of a file and check in/check out files.
