Does each team member need to link to Git repo branch when using shared model

• 
  All users need to do this as the information that "links" the dev DB (shared or otherwise) to the VCS repo or working folder is per-user. This is because not all users might choose to use the same working folder path on their disk. There is an argument that when using the native VCS integration the tool should be able to "auto link", but this functionality doesn't exist yet.

  Yes, I Git it now (haha).  The "link" step is really just setting the Db to point to a local Git repo.  Since each team member will clone the repo to a path local to them, then they will need to do the link step also.  Thanks.

  That's also why the shared model isn't really compatible with Git, because each developer has their own local repository which can change independently of any central remote you might have configured.

  Mike U's comment about the shared model not being compatible with Git does not make any sense to me.  Even in dedicated mode, each developer has their own local repository which can change independently of any central remote.  I see no difference as far as repositories go.  Regarding actual history of changes, the Source Control is independent of the database.
