The current enhancement to be able to work with an pier file read-only is
not really useful.
Please make IntelliJ remember that it already notified the user that the
pier file is not writable. Remind the user only on shutdown or project close
or if the project file has effectively changed (Right now if I open a
read-only project and I can a java file within it and try Save All I get
project file read-only error every times! The project hasn't changed I
should not get it).
This makes working with project file controlled by VCS that keep files
read-only (CVS w/ edit on, Clearcase, Perforce, VSS,...) really error prone:
I have to make the file writeable outside VCS and potentially miss on
possible updates. Worse when I want to update the project file I have to
manually merge my changes.

The best feature would be to treat the pier file the same as other VCS
controlled files and offer to check it out automatically (VisualStudio does
that for example).
