Re: Allowing only one person to edit a certain file

[Dennis Jones]

If your developers are communicating well, and they are updating and
checking in their changes regularly, there will not be many conflicts, and
even when there are, they will be minor.  If you don't want this behavior,
then you might as well not use CVS at all, because the whole reason it was
developed was to allow multiple developers to work on the same sources
simultaneously.  If you want to lock files as they are being editted, you
are defeating the whole reason for using CVS to begin with.  You may as well
just use different revision control program.
