To make a long story short, my organization currently relies upon
Dreamweaver's check-in/check-out file-locking system to prevent our web
designers & developers from overwriting each other's changes to html,
php & cold fusion files. It's bulky, manual and requires us to be more
lending librarian than designer/developer. Plus, only one person can
work on a file at a time, it's proprietary and is quite
buggy/inefficient.

I want to find a way that will allow our people to work on files
without this cumbersome check-in/check-out locking system, I want to be
able to see a change history for a given file (who's changed it when),
and ideally I'd like it to be a decentralized solution that requires as
little effort on the designer/developer's part as possible -- I have
this idea that sharing files shouldn't be hard work.

Unfortunately, I can't find a solution, and I've tried. Thus I'm
posting (and praying) here.

Thanks.
