[smc] How can anyone disagree?
To disagree is to say "Make CVS complicated!" :-)
But I oversimplify.
For the file lockers out there, a question or two:
I gather you would like to be able to lock individual files
on a per-branch basis, purportedly to prevent concurrent
editing. Well, that implies you would like to concurrently
edit the files...otherwise, why the need for _per-branch_
locking? So which is it? And then, when it comes time
to merge the branches? What then? Well, the files are
not mergeable (hence the locks) so I guess you just pick
one or the other and throw out the changes on one branch
or the other...Well, that's nice.
So maybe you would like to eliminate branching in order
to facilitate locking?
Ok, these questions are mostly rhetorical I suppose, :-) but
it seems any locking code written would have to address
them in some fashion...
