Abstract
A revision control service is included in a hypervisor. The revision control service manages revision control operations relating virtual machine images transparently to the virtual machine. The revision control service interacts with a conventional revision control program, stores relevant revision control metadata external to the virtual machine image with file-level granularity, and synchronizes virtual machine operations with the revision control operations. From the perspective of the virtual machine, the revision control service provides a clean image from which to boot, without modification of the revision control program.
