I add this and the generated source code.

I do this too!

See above, put it all under revision control.

If you work in ModelMaker and put both the model and the code in version
control then the code will be OK - i.e., ModelMaker will be able to
understand it as it generated it.

The ModelMaker docs. assume version control with locks (coming in 1.2)
which allows you to serialise changes to the model file (which is non
mergable).

If you have several people working on the same code at the same time either:

   - Each have your own separate ModelMaker model files, then there will
never be a need to merge a model.
   - or, use the same ModelMaker files but when there is a conflict
revert the file, merge the generated files, ensure they compile in
Delphi and then re-import them into the model.
