TFS Exclusive Check Outs
The XMI file format used for version control of Enterprise Architect's packages can not be merged like ordinary text files. Therefore, Enterprise Architect must enforce serialized editing of its version controlled packages. As a consequence, it is important that TFS is configured to use 'exclusive checkouts' for XML files. Otherwise, TFS can return file statuses that make it look like the package file is not checked-out by another user when indeed it is.
