Lock-Modify-Unlock vs Copy-Modify-Merge

Hello

My boss is asking me why we have to use
Copy-Modify-Merge. He prefer Lock-Modify-Unlock
(source safe in that case).

I don't like sourcesafe, and I prefer using
subversion... So my question is:
Is somebody having an url or a document explaining why
and when Copy-Modify-Merge is better. (i've read the
book, but if I could have more arguments...)

Thank's

Barry

Tell your boss "they're working on a lock-modify-unlock model for 1.2, 
but in the meantime, let's give it a try with copy-modify-merge. Some of 
the largest group coding projects in the world, like Apache and Samba, 
use Subversion with the copy-modify-merge model every day. Once we give 
it a try, I really think you'll like it better. If not, we can go back 
to a locking model when 1.2 comes out."
