"if everyone uses some version control system locally they can copy the file into their source tree and quickly see the changes" this is wrong, for that to work base version should be same.max630– max6302018-07-08 07:04:05 +00:00Commented Jul 8, 2018 at 7:04

@max630 you are right, they will usually see the changes relative to their current state. But as the next sentence in my answer states they can start a branch from the last common state. Sharing whole files isn't the best workflow, but it's sometimes the only one you can agree on.amon– amon2018-07-08 07:09:43 +00:00Commented Jul 8, 2018 at 7:09

1The hard under-truth is I am not convinced that they are using any version control, but that's circumstantial and not wholly relevant to how I should handle the situation (other than to guard against accountability issues with them mis-migrating my changes).r2evans– r2evans2018-07-08 18:48:50 +00:00Commented Jul 8, 2018 at 18:48

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
