Benevolent dictatorship model of open source manager only quasi-stable, but it's much better than the other extreme: the chaos of democratic code development. Best available compromise is the concurrent versioning system (CVS), which introduces proctored code merging into source code management. CVS suitable for open-source development worldwide, and the world is ready for monographs that address the management issues that Per Cederqvist explicitly avoided in a nice postscript manual 164-page distributed with the CVS tar-ball. Fogel's book 300-page consists of chapters alternating between CVS basics and common code maintenance issues. He includes a few anecdotes from open-source knowledge and resourceful specific guidance on software development teams. Fogel is the best when he engaged us in thinking about what should and should not be under the control of CVS. He pointed out that there are complex relationships between code development and its dependencies on intimately related applications, such as creating their own tools (gcc, autoconf) or partner applications (eg, client server or client server). In the end, management arguments boil down to a generous support for the dictatorship model - a safe conclusion, but one that did not use CVS's merging capability for all worth it.
