There are some processes that are better left to humans than forms of automation. I find that many people mistake the term "Source Control" for "Configuration Management". While "Source Control" is certainly an important part of "Configuration Management", it is not "Configuration Management" in and of itself. In the 34 years that I've been a part of the "public" world, I've worked with only one company that practiced anything close to what "Configuration Management" actually is. It was a major DOD company and it made fewer "Source Control" mistakes even in software than even some of the smaller companies I've worked for because of good and proper "Configuration Management".
