>>What happens is when developer A commits a file changed by developer B, he is told there is a conflict, and is prompted to compare the two versions, generally using diff or some variant of it.
But this is ridiculous! So programmer B has to read and check all what programer A has done, and integrate either his own code into A's file, or A's code ito his own? During all this, he has to check if every line of code is still compatible, and during all the time it takes, there is still a chance programmer C has modify the same file again? May be I didn't use the right term with "version control". What I mean is some tool that will allow programmer A (even force him) to tell the system "I want to work on file such and such". Then all these files are "locked", and when user B comes to ask for the same files, he will be answered "Sorry, these files are already used by programmer A". When programmer A upload the new files, they will be sent automatically to all other programmers, and programmer B will be said "now you've got the new files, you may lock them for yourself if you want." I don't need to recover previous versions (although that might be an option), I just need to manage users so that only one at a time can modify a file. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
