Actually you _can_ do that (lock files for single use) in CVS
with with the 'cvs admin -l' command, but only admin or those
in his group can do that. so not of much use while setting up
cvs for practical use.
The feature of allowing multiple users to edit the same file
and then diffing and merging the files is seen more as a
'power feature'. But in order to use these kind of features,
programmers need to be mature and diciplined.
You can use 'cvs watch' to track who is editing a file. You
can make cvs notify you when a file is being modified.
But somehow I don't think these will impress your department,
will they ? ;-)
