Same here. Our build procedure creates a new view, sets the config spec for
that build view based on a template encoded into the script, and time-stamps
the config spec using the time rule.
This effectively freezes the build view at that point in time, allowing
others to continue work.
Of course, there is a non-zero change that you'll catch someone in the
process of checking in a series of related files, picking up some but not
all of the changes. However, that's always a risk, and I can only think of
one or two times we've hit that.
We also have as many as 5 parallel efforts working at the same time.
Locking the vob for a couple hours at a time wouldn't be practical.
Also, using this "one view per build" method, we archive the config spec
away for each build, allowing us to go back to that specifc version of the
source tree at some time in the future.

Instead of locking the VOB we use a time stamp.
