I was responding to Kerry, whose goal is "to prevent code from being
updated" when one developer has something checked out. The fact that
some centralized VCS's can allow a degree of concurrency via branching
is beside the point in that scenario. And you'll very likely still find
locking per branch and have to choose between branching by feature and
branching by developer. With a DVCS you don't have to choose.
