I have been thinking about investigating Perforce as a way
to make a "thin" asset manager. The kinds of assets I want
to manager are typically large binaries; video, images and sound.
Well, as we've been discussing here, there is no current way to
exclusively open a file for edit, so if two people attempted work on
one of these binary files, you could get into resolve trouble; if
they are large binaries as you say, it would be even more critical to
assure that you didn't get a resolve situation - I am guessing that
it would be a far more expensive loss of investment in time to have
edited a video clip and have to throw it away than a quick change to
a UI feature in a Mac resource file, for example.
