Similarly, we used to use SVN for a mechanical engineering team doing CAD models. SVN supported a reserved checkout mode (I guess SVN calls it "locking") which meant only 1 person could check out a file at a time. Perfect for non-mergeable binary files, and with TortoiseSVN it was easy for non-SW engineers to use.
That's one thing I doubt Git will ever be able to do since it is a distributed model rather than server-based.
- johnwalkr 4y agoIt does? That’s a requirement for version control for cad I think (just wrote a huge comment yesterday in here about it). I might actually try to use svn in 2023.
- P_I_Staker 4y agoIf you're using lfs for cad, it has file locking
- P_I_Staker 4y agoFile locking exists for LFS, which you could argue is the main place you'd need it... if you want to "lock down" other files, there's ways to handle that in the process, eg. pull requests
