I'm actually not surprised, and I've worked on plenty of client projects where the "workflow" was to login via FTP and edit live files on the server. If there was a chance for a potential conflict, just yell across the room to the other developer to make sure you don't step on each other. Sadly, a few of these were for large interactive agencies. I try and steer clear of these kinds of jobs when I can, or at least try and push them towards svn or git.
