Since this many years in Software development, I have encounter such situation many times.

Sometimes it inevitable not to work on someone else's code, I have seen situation where the fellow on whose code you're working has been assigned to another project. And it really bad feeling to clean someone else mess.

The more you get experience about how to deal with such situation its becomes manageable to evade this kind of situation and sometimes you need courage to say 'NO' and it works if you stay firm.

I believe, if the person who has previously work on the code is there then it should goes to that person only either way its really inefficient.
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.
