With CVS an engineer locks a file to work on it. <snip>
Although CVS provides locks, it is strongly recommended that you don't
use them. We use CVS at work, and never use locking. CVS does a great
job with merging different people's mods. The only time you typically
run into problems is when two people have touched the same lines of the
same file, and this is not very common (at least in my
experience...maybe this has to do with how tasks are partitioned among
developers). Even when a conflict does occur, they are usually fairly
easy to remedy. Basically, I find it is just a good idea to update and
commit regularly (at _least_ once a day). If I have major changes that
will take more than a day, I make a branch so that I don't destabilize
the main development branch.
That said, if I were starting fresh I would probably choose SVN.
