A baseline is a collection of object versions that can be used as the starting point of a development activity. A
baseline represents a set of object versions that have been reviewed or tested (depending on type of object) as a set,
and can be treated as a known, good configuration.
Typically, the baseline for one phase of development activity is created from the finished results of the previous
phase.
Once a baseline has been created, its contents cannot be changed.
As development activity proceeds, it is usual to find a sequence of baselines being created which represent stages or
milestones along the way.
