No system can entirely prevent human error (and modifying stale code because you didn't do an update is human error), source control systems just dramatically reduce the impact when they occur. All source control systems in existence, regardless of the model, require a certain amount of knowledge and discipline from the developers to use properly, but it's still far less problematic than not using such a system and having your code being arbitrarily edited by multiple people with no way to track who changed what when, and to recover from the problems that inevitably arise. > If it is to create problems and then fix them, I don't really need any > tool for this ;-) Yeah, source control is all about creating problems. That's why everyone uses it - we just like making problems for ourselves. *sigh* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
