[Samba] Problem accessing Samba shares simultaneously by multipleusers

One suggestion of the top of my head is Subversion.  I believe it supports 
file locking for simultaneous development.
What little I read about it a while back it would allow you to control the 
locking.
It's main purpose is version control which is needed as well if you have 
multiple developers.

HTH,

Robert
