At the last meeting i mentioned a book that contained a lot of theory about branching in relation to SCM,
The document in question is available from:

http://www.hillside.net/plop/plop98/final_submissions/P37.pdf
(as linked by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_%28software%29 )

Just a few random notes:
- This document is over 10 years old. It pre-dates things like git and svn.
- That being said, i still think a lot of the theory is relevant.
- It's a HUGE document. A lot of it is really theoretical. Some of it is outdated.
- I think, if it's a subject that interests you, it's actually a really good resource. There's a lot of useful concepts in there for managing a codebase with many developers.
- FWIW, we use something that resembles Fig. S1b on page 50.

Have fun :) Sorry if anyone gets a headache from reading it. I usually do too :p
