Seems there are a couple things that do what you want already - I've seen a system at one of our customers, don't know who makes it or if it's from Midrange Computing or NEWS/400

And if you followed the companion thread - Richard and Aaron are conspiring for something with SVN - now if we can add object relations to their concepts (big hint, boss!!!).

Given your conflicting position, maybe you could make the case with your
team about the need to a package that suits the small shops too?

As much as I liked working with change management (Turnover) in a prior
life, we would never be able to justify the cost for our 3 man shop. And in
many (most) ways it would be overkill.

I would be happy with a 'Source Control Manager' that simply did two things:
1 - Allow source to be checked in/locked & checked out/unlocked by developer
with change notes
2 - Maintain a revisions library to allow us to see prior copies

I just want to avoid source code contention and have a complete history.

It is something we would pay for from a vendor, or contribute to the design
and coding of if it were an open source project.
