Karl Fogel, one of the lead developers behind Subversion and CVS, wrote a book on Open Source software development.
A large part of text is dedicated to the social side of software development: communication, finances, managing volunteers, licenses. Technical side is also strong, as could be expected from a developer of such caliber.
Of course, Karl has quite a few words about version control as applied to topic.
The book is available freely under the open license. You may browse it online at
Producing Open Source Software: How to Run a Successful Free Software Project.
Particularly, the version control chapter is at
Chapter 3. Technical Infrastructure: Version Control.
