Before Git, we used SVN (Subversion), and CVS before that. Microsoft shops used TFS or whatever it's called now (or was called in the past)

Wasn’t it Visual SourceSafe or something like that?

God, what a revolution it was when subversion came along and we didn’t have to take turns checking out a file to have exclusive write access.

The worst was when someone left for vacation without releasing their file locks.

Vacation is a quaint problem lol, at least you know they're eventually coming back. What do we do about the guy who retired 5 years ago and still has locked files in his name?
