Subject: Re: Another VC terminology change?

Message-ID: <E1Ig21f-0000i9-5U@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071011143005.GA18057@thyrsus.com> (esr@thyrsus.com)
The terms ``checkin'' and ``checkout'' are associated with file-based
and locking-based systems and a bit archaic; nowadays those operations
are usually called ``commit'' and ``update''.
Since I've had to take a big hammer to VC's terminology anyway to clean up the
inconsistencies Stefan pointed out, I'm thinking now might be a good time
for me to go further and change these.
Please deal with the fileset problem before tackling other issues.
