Effective Source Control
October 9, 2000

Tired of having your documents overwritten? In a
multi-user setting, it's almost impossible to ensure that someone's
changes will not be overwritten every time you must manually edit a
file. This is especially important during development. This article
will describe how to build a source control system that will
alleviate such problems.

The bane of all web developers is the dreaded overwritten file.
We've all had experiences where we've implemented some wonderful
new changes, only to have them overwritten by the next Joe who comes
along. If only there was a way to prevent this from happening.
Well, hearty travelers, wander no more. We'll show you how to build
an effective source control system here that will prevent this from
ever happening again (assuming, of course, that everyone uses the
system).
And, unlike many source control packages today (i.e. Visual Sourcesafe),
this one will work over network connections.
