You mean that your development team will have to work together to ensure
that there aren't any incompatibilities?  Say it ain't so!  We'd also best
not tell you about distributed revision management tools, like svk, I think
you'd keel over :^)

Yes, this is what you can do.  You can also optionally lock files to a
specific user with SVN (and the older less capable CVS, and probably
everything else out there), but it works best when a) you have some project
management tools in place to coordinate what people are working on, b) good
communication between the developers, c) separate development installations
of your code per developer.  I worked at one place a few years ago that
considered file locking a good thing but only because some of the
development staff weren't technically capable enough to handle the issues
(and ultimately the system was so bad that it took down the company).

Version control with a system like SVN is a best practice for a reason - its
one of the best things your development team can do.  Couple it with
MantisBT or Trac and you've got yourself a heck of a powerful combination.
