Publisher's Synopsis
Aspects include extensible change set conflict and merge gap detection in a record-based configuration management system. A method includes instructing the record-based configuration management system to create a change set. The method also includes instructing the record-based configuration management system to add one or more version mappings to a given configuration and to indicate specific concepts which should be flagged as not participating in a process that includes change set conflict and merge gap detection. The record-based configuration management system is instructed to deliver the change set to a requestor.
