If developers can't merge files together I'm not sure I want them on my dev team :) Honestly though, merge conflicts happen so rarely in normal development it's crazy to lock files.. It's not about pulling up another app IMO, it's about separate tasks. I code in the IDE, I manage files in the file system. TortoiseSVN makes working with SVN in explorer so easy, and even the cmd line tools are darn simple. Why do I care about source control at all while I'm coding, other then knowing when to break and commit. Dan if you have any questions on SVN hit me up.. Maybe I'll have to talk a little at the next rails group on svn :) Exclusive locking is such a ridiculous way to manage files IMO.

My current gig uses VSS...they love the IDE integration. "Why should I have to pull up another app?" Jonathan, they like strict locking, too. I've been trying to get us onto SVN (half-heartedly, I've had lots of other things to do), but not knowing SVN up-front makes it harder to get started. *lol* I’ve never used SVN or CVS, though I _have_ used PVCS.

You poor soul. What I dislike about VSS is that only one developer can work on any given file. Files are locked during editing. Oh dear. You poor soul.

It does dual-pane; it also has a neat Mac-like column view. I’ve been trying out UltraExplorer (Windows freeware) for the past couple of weeks and quite like it.
