  abstract = {Conflicts among developers' inconsistent copies of a shared
  project arise in collaborative development and can slow progress and decrease
  quality. Identifying and resolving such conflicts early can help. Identifying
  situations which may lead to conflicts can prevent some conflicts altogether.
  By studying nine open-source systems totaling 3.4 million lines of code, we
  establish that conflicts are frequent, persistent, and appear not only as
  overlapping textual edits but also as subsequent build and test failures.
  Motivated by this finding, we develop a speculative analysis technique that
  uses previously-unexploited information from version control operations to
  precisely diagnose important classes of conflicts. Then, we design and
  implement Crystal, a publicly-available tool that helps developers identify,
  manage, and prevent conflicts. Crystal uses speculative analysis to make
  concrete advice unobtrusively available to developers.},
