calbzam Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi, Locks are normally linked to a workflow where developers are working on the same branch with no mergeable files. The locks are not per branch but per path. If you are using branches, I guess the files you are modifying are not binary files (because otherwise, they won't be able to be merged) but text files that don't require a lock. If we would allow locking the same file path in different branches by different users, you will be generating a merge conflict with a not mergeable file (binary).

Etherlord Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 thx for your reply! We work mostly on the same branch with no mergeable files (we're small game development studio working with UE4), but sometimes it's necessary to make a fully standalone branch for testing some experimental features, like updating to the next UE4 release. In this case lot's of files (both mergeable and non-mergeable) will be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
