Conflict

As a software review, Conflict is a lifesaver for any developer who wants to avoid potential conflicts between their work and that of their peers. This open source project comprises two parts -- Conflict clients and a Conflict server -- that work seamlessly together.

The Conflict client is a transparent process that runs in the background on each developer's workstation. Its role is to consistently report all local file system changes to the Conflict server as they happen. This ensures that the Conflict server has the most up-to-date information about code changes happening across the development team.

The Conflict server is responsible for detecting conflicts between two or more developers working on the same code. When a conflict is detected, an alert is sent to each developer. This is designed to provide feedback and encourage communication between developers, with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of code commits.

Overall, the Conflict project is a fantastic tool that promotes frequent code check-ins while avoiding conflicts between developers. It's an excellent addition to any developer's arsenal, and I highly recommend it.
