Seriously though, this is an inherent flaw both in VSS and in how people
perceive source control to work.

In the latter respect many people new to revision management don't
initial get the concept that every single developer should have their
own working directory where they work on their code separately to
everyone else.  Also, thanks to how ColdFusion works it is also strongly
recommended that every user have their own web server setup on their own
workstation to do initial development, then copy the code to a central
testing server for further testing and approval before being copied to
the production server.

Regarding the former, many older revision management systems only allow
one person to work on a file at any given time, hence "locks" whereby a
developer locks a file to stop others editing it.  This is IMHO a flaw
in these older systems and is one of the key features that newer systems
(Subversion, Perforce) work so well and is one of the main reasons why
most people recommend to use a newer system in the first place.
