Daniel, thanks for your input. Being new to svc I have always wondered about
it from afar -- wondering how so many edits could possibly be reconciled
into one working system (like the kernel) and now I see that it's not
*magic* but that there is some limitation placed on the people doing the
editing. 

Could you point me to any relevant sections in the docs that talks about
this some more? Could it be something like - one person per given source
file at a time? Or one person editing any given function? What are the
limits to how close edits can be to each other?

Many thanks,
