RoboHelp 2019 - Version Control

Question

How does version control work in RoboHelp 2019 for GIT??? In a multi-author environment, will it automatically check out and lock files that are being edited? Or will users have to manually notify each other what they're working on and/or manually merge changes when there are conflicts?

Also, is there a plan - and timeline (and if so, when?) - to deliver version control via RoboSource Control (3.1 or maybe RSC 2019????) and Microsoft SCC API (for example, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express)?
