Source Code Management AKA Configuration Management Or How I learned to Stop Worrying (As Much) and Hate My Co-workers Less

Locking


•	Only one person can work on a file at once

•	Works fairly well if developers work on

	different areas of the project and don’t

	conflict often

•	Problem 1: People forget to unlock files

	when they are done

•	Problem 2: People work around locking by

	editing a private copy and checking in when

	the file is finally unlocked - easy to goof

	and lose changes
