RE: Multiple locks on a file

[Christopher.Fouts]

As the code integrator, I just lock the HEAD and the 
development branch to prevent users from submitting 
directly into them. I am enforcing a 3-tier branch
system...

   trunk <--> dev_branch <---> priv_branch.

Users (only 4, so this works) submit daily work into 
private brances; we integrate at least once a week
into the development branch, which is regression 
tested. After a certain period, I merge the dev.
branch into the trunk. This has worked for me so
far, and may NOT be for everyone.
