Abstract
Managing versions of an electronic entity comprising many independently managed, but mutually-dependent, subcomponents can be challenging. File management functionality is provided for use with an integrated development environment to produce a visual indication of the relationships among the subcomponents. The approach described herein provides an improvement over source code control systems and backup systems in the ability to revert the state of one or more files as their content existed at an historical time point. The technique does not require a user to predict in advance at which time points the content state of one or more files will be interesting as historical time points for future use.
