Oh, I have. :-)

I'm not saying these situations are impossible. But you can work towards reducing when they arise. If everyone needs to change the same file, then it sounds like something should be refactored (it's probably a quite big file as well?).

If every error needs to go to the same error enum, that sounds like an error enum that might benefit from being split up.

And if every change needs to write to a common changelog file, I would personally find a new way to produce that changelog.

If it's that big a painpoint, then I would look into different ways to get around it.
