We planning to implement file-locking (or some method of notifying the
user of changes to a non-mergeable item) after 1.0, but probably not
before.
There's been a lot of discussion about what kind of interface to use,
when to do it, etc. Not all the questions have been resolved, it's
more that we've deferred the design discussion until we're closer to
implementing it. The phrase "file locking" by itself turned out not
to answer many of these questions :-).
But if you have a specific file locking scenario in mind (different
from CVS's edit/watch features, since we're already familiar with how
that works), and have time to post a detailed description, please do.
We can always use more data points.
