But Richard just said that =E2=80=9Cchecking in=E2=80=9D=E2=80=9A to him,= means putting it in=20 the central repository. A better phrasing is: Commit, then pull. Committing is a local=20 operation. Checking in, as Richard sees it, is pushing. Actually, I think =E2=80=9Cchecking in=E2=80=9D isn't even in the git voc= abulary. Better=20 not to use the term in order to avoid confusion. =E2=80=93 Harald
