Just out of curiosity, why is exclusive file locking necessary? I've used SourceSafe and CVS both, and found the CVS model to be superior in almost every case. Let the repository worry about versioning and merging the files. <br />

I need a tool that runs on Linux, to manage project source code the way MS Visual Sourcesafe does <br />
eg <br />
- perform exclusive file locking when editing code<br />
- version management<br />
<br />
I know that you can do this through emacs editor but something like Visual Sourcesafe wld be nice. How does everyone do it? My team consists of 10 programmers. We develop in C++ on KDE of Redhat Linux.<br />

Visual SourceSafe equivalent tool for Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
