For whoever is using some sort of source code control, I'm curious on how you have successfully set it up in a multi user environment working on a shared server.
Here is my problem (currently using vss): You have 3 developers working on a site and they all have the site's directory setup as their working directory all mapped to the proper vss project. When one person checks out a file, the file is changed from read only to writeable. The user that checked it out edits it, but before they check it in, another developer clicks on the file and they aren't prompted to check it out because it is already writable and without thinking there may be a problem, they make some changes and edit the file and save. Now developer one checks in their file and loses all their changes or it doesn't reload and then developer 2 loses their changes, either or someone loses data. It seems as if the shared development is the big problem in the scenario. I've tried cvs and subversion as well and they don't seem to like the shared environment either because all the meta data is shared on the server and it gets confused with who the current user is. How are people doing this? What am I missing? I've tried eclipse with vss and homesite with vss and I am able to corrupt files with no problem using the method described above. My only solution is to force developers to check out their files with the VSS client which takes away from having everything in one ide and still leaves the ability for someone to mess it up. Any help would be appreciated.
