I use Visual Source Safe for version control. This tool
uses the ReadOnly property to protect files, and to indicate
that they are not "CheckedOut" for modification. If I do
forget to check the PB files out, the IDE does not seem to
care about the R/O. I modify the code, click compile, get
the compile display, and perhaps, exit(!) without any burp
about the autosave of the source having failed due to R/O.
I realize that testing will show the changes never took, but
an indicator of R/O status on a source file would be handy.
To go a step further, having the autosave report an error,
any error, which occured on the save step, would provide a
nice guide.
I know there are other version control tools out there, and
I wonder if many of them would also set R/O in their use.
