there are no conflicts, he can then commit his changes, creating version 1.6. On
the other hand, if there are conflicts, he must first resolve them (they’ll be marked
in the working copy), and only then may he commit his version.
The combination of the “copy, modify, merge” model with a networked client/server
facility creates a powerful environment for doing distributed development. Devel-
opers no longer have to worry about file locks. Because the source code management
system enforces serialization (making sure that new changes are based on the latest
version in the repository), development can move more smoothly, with little danger
