Common Source Control Terms
Following are definitions for some of the common phrases used in Lingo's integrated source control with Subversion.
- Bind This means to connect your project to Apache Subversion. After doing this, you can take advantage of all the automated source control tasks (such as commit, revert, update, and so on).
- Commit This means to send changes from your working copy of a Lingo file to the Subversion repository, on a server.
- Revert This means to undo changes you have made to a Lingo file. Changes are reverted to the way they were at the last commit.
- Update This means to update your working copy of a Lingo file with changes from the repository.
- Lock This means to prevent other users from committing changes to a Lingo file in the repository.
- Unlock This means to remove an existing lock from a Lingo file in the repository so other users can commit changes to the file.
Note Lingo integrates with multiple source control providers to provide built-in source control support. Each of the source control providers built-in to Lingo uses different terms. As such, Lingo's source control interface is different depending on which source control provider you use. Please refer to the sections for each source control provider if you need to see information about the terms used by other built-in systems.
