That's really not a big problem and anyone who does development on a
multiuser machine will be doing it all the time. In fact even a single
developer will likely have different versions compiled for testing at
the same time. The problem arises when someone has to decide which, if
any, should become the 'standard' version, at which point it becomes an
issue of authority, not a technical problem.

If everyone is going to fight over the same space it again becomes a
matter of authority - or a free-for-all.
