Abstract
Computer method and apparatus for managing software configuration repositories are disclosed. In a plurality of repositories each repository holds a respective set of change-request objects. One of the repositories in the plurality is a primary repository, and the other repositories are working repositories. In the primary repository, there is a respective proxy object for each change-request object of interest in a working repository. Each proxy object has a corresponding associated change-request object in the primary repository. For a given proxy object, changes made to the respective change-request object of interest in the working repository are mapped to the associated change-request object in the primary repository and vice versa.
