Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for source control in a program, wherein the program includes hierarchical files for execution of processes, wherein the hierarchical files include parent files and child files. A revised process selected by a user on a graphical user interface is identified; and, files in the revised process are identified. The files in the revised process are locked with a source control processor. This includes disallowing revisions to the files in the revised process. One or more files that are descendents of a file in the revised process are identified. The one or more files that are descendents of a file in the revised process are locked with the source control processor. This includes disallowing revisions to the one or more files that are descendents of a file in the revised process.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for source control in a computer program, wherein the computer program includes a plurality of files for execution of a plurality of processes. A revised process that is selected by a user on a graphical user interface is identified, wherein the revised process includes an execution path. A revised portion of a file in the revised process that the user is revising, has revised, and/or is planning on revising is identified. Portions of files that are in the execution path of the revised process are identified. The portions of the files in the execution path of the revised process are locked with a source control processor. The locking disallows revisions (e.g., write and delete operations) to the portions of the files in the execution path of the revised process that are not made by the user.
