I was looking for unison. thanks to everyone who replied.

We are using a source management system (CVS, because we want to give 
SVN some time to mature), but our artists don't work this way. CVS is 
really only the gateway between them and the rest of the production 
team, meaning when they've got something they want to pass off to the 
rest of us, they check it in.

Most of the time, they work on stuff more losely, and the large 
filesizes and frequent update cycles would blow up CVS (and a lot of 
other systems) real quick. They also don't want it - what they want is 
to be able to have another guy review some of their stuff, or share a 
texture quick and painless, so stuff floats around a lot. And that's 
where I want to get unison into play, if it does what I expect it to do.

Enno.
