Multiple people can work on a single file (any file) and the merge
process will take care of it... where 2 people edit the same line of
code at the same time (which isn't that often*) then they would need
to get together possibly with the lead dev to sort out the conflict
resolution.  Often you have no idea who else is working on the file
you are working on...

*if you commit first, then the merge nightmare becomes someone else's problem :)
