Usually "software configuration management" or "source code management"; be careful, though, because in
"enterprise"- or management-dominated [IT] circles, it'll be understood as "supply chain management", which 
is regarded as automatable commercially.  

Configuration management is, in principle, more general than "version control", 
but often conceived in terms of the latter. 

This is what [CVS], [Bugzilla], [CVSTrac], [Bonsai], [SourceForge], [Subversion],
[git], [Mercurial], [Fossil], Dimensions, and [BitKeeper] all provide, to varying degrees.

A particularly interesting aspect of this subject has to do with [choice of SCM for the Tcl/Tk core].

"Source Control HOWTO" [http://software.ericsink.com/scm/index.html]

The two expansions of the acronym '''SCM''' mean different things to SCM specialists - see news:comp.software.config-mgmt and its FAQ [http://www.daveeaton.com/scm/].

A variety of Software Configuration Management/Source Code Management strategies are available.
