These are not huge but nice to have.

Allow another user security property for Branch and Merge of Projects.

Allow Admin to mark a file as exclusive check out (not by it's file type).

Thanks for posting your wish list. Both have been added to our feature request list.

Allow Admin to mark a file as exclusive check out (not by it's file type).

You can already do this by right clicking the file and choosing Properties. Change the Type from "Use default for this type" to "Binary". This will force the file to be exclusive checkout.

I know you can do it by type.

It was requested to also support a specific file.

For example lets say you have one critical .cs file that has some critical table defined in it. And you want to mark that file exclusive so that you don't do multiple edits at the same time on it (a tool may update it for example). But you don't want to make all .cs files exclusive.

P.S. You could cheat and rename the file type to be unique. But then tools don't recoqnize it's type.

In the regular Vault GUI client, right click on the critical .cs file, and choose Properties. Change its type to Binary, and it will only allow exclusive checkout. This will not affect any other files, just the one file you set.
