Well, you can set up Subversion to use single-locking checkouts that
way too, it just gets to be a pain when one person needs to make a
change to file X, along with 20 other files to get feature Y working,
while another person just wants to make a typo fix in file X but has
to wait 3 days to do so. Merging will generally take care of things
automatically, and when people tend to work on the same line, well, it
warns you and lets you fix.
