This is my experience, too. When I get changes from various people, now, who do not have CVS access, I use FCompare. This program lets me see changes side-by-side and to choose which lines I want to accept. Usually, people are using an older version than what I have as current, so the changes have to be made carefully and selectively. Plus, I know exactly what is going in there.
