Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think SourceSafe allowed for
versioning/branching, simply 'locking' a file until it was checked in, but I
haven't used it for a while.

This is actually the basic functionality I'm looking for, and possibly what
the OP requires too, I don't (currently) need versioning/branching just a
way to ensure that I can't change some code being worked on by a colleague.

Can CVS or Subversion operate in this 'basic' mode?

If not, does anyone know of a free/open source app that provides this?

Dreamweaver offers a simple locking functionality but would require all
developers on a project to use Dreamweaver, which can get expensive and I
would like each developer to be able to use the IDE they feel most
comfortable with.

Thanks

Graham

CVS is definitely something to check into.  In addition to the Mac
product mentioned before, Zend Studio and many other IDEs and editors
have CVS compatibility built into them.

CVS is similar to (but of course has differences to) Microsoft's Source
Safe, if you're familiar with that product. (yeah, someone's going to
hang me for making the comparison, but they serve the same function so
I'm drawing a parallel).
