Abstract: Customizing third-party “vendor” source code is becoming increasingly common. But managing the incorporation of vendor application releases alongside customizations requires an additional layer of software configuration management (SCM) to integrate subsequent vendor releases.

However, there is a more intuitive and efficient parallel development model for managing customizations to vendor code.
