Hi David

I've been struggling with exactly the issues you're looking at now. My solution is to significantly reduce the number of classes per vcx and the number of functions/procedures per PRG to near one-to-one.

No two developers then ever work on the same atomic piece. There are also no contention issues and no extra steps to take.

I still use source control, but only as a backup, not as a way to attempt to resolve conflicts or merge code.
