Re: Making a file writeable

[Mark A. Flacy]

The problem is that you have multiple developers modifying the same area of
code without communicating with each other.

The way that you haven't solved that problem in the past is to not allow
two developers to be able to modify the same source file at the same time.
That costs you time when the areas of code that the developers are
modifying are non-overlapping (two different methods of the same class, for
example).  Since you don't seem to be complaining about your inability to
do *that*, I guess that your management is unable to divide the work in
such a fashion or your code is so spaghetti-like that you *cannot* divide
your work in such a fashion.

It seems that you should find a source control tool that acts the way that
you wish.  That tool isn't CVS.
