RE: Re: SubVersion

Hi,

Subversion plans to support lock-modify-unlock in version 1.1 -- at least that's my understanding. Why you'd want it? For binary files, primarily. And a large part of the world lives exclusively inside binary files, MS-Office documents or images for instance.

And if you don't want to wait until 1.1 or use rcs, then there's CVS which has support for locking if so configured.

regards,

--Tim

Well, there's always the old standbys, rcs or sccs.

Can I ask why you feel you need lock-modify-unlock? The
modify-merge-commit model, as used in CVS, is extremely popular in the
free software world, and always worked well for me.
