Claude: First off, what you want doesn't exist and I think you need to understand that initially. What does exist, however, are source control packages that WILL save you time and headaches in the future working in a team environment.
That said, the next thing you need to understand is that there are policies that need to be followed when working with source control. One of your questions... "Ok, but what if they don't? They can create a new version from an obsolete copy?" Standard source control policy dictates that before you being any work at all, you lock and download the latest copy of the file from the repository. If a developer submitted code changes on a file that (s)he did not lock and update first would get severe disciplinary action in the first instance. Any subsequent instances would get them fired. To cover another remark... "and overwrite some more latest code already pushed by someone else?" Again, policy. You designate one person as the build coordinator who is the final, absolute, total overseer of when a tag is released to your production server. No overwriting possible in that case, and even if you had a rogue employee who decided to do their own publish of the code, then once you've fired them, you simply go back in your code repository and get the build you want. Nothing is ever lost and you can always recover. And lastly... "Well, I may be wrong, but my vision of a source control system is to manage things so that they don't need to be fixed" Imagine the above scenarios if you DIDN'T have source control. Catastrophic. With source control? Easily managed. Just remember is a mixture of the right policies and the right tools. Source control prevents problems. Absolutely, unequivocally, and has a solid track record to prove it. Good luck!
