1) On Topic
2) Helpful
3) Flame war

Choose 2 :-)

Seriously, gvim does this. If you have gvim open, and somebody else has
edited the file, it pops up a dialog saying "file has changed; ok/load new
version". It will not, however, merge your changes with the version it
loads; it's strictly one or the other.

I'm not sure if vim (non graphical) does (or can be made to do) the same,
but it doesn't appear to by default.
