Guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi, I have seen that Plastic has some kind of feature to store checkouts without actually doing a check-in. It's not very clear to me what is the use of this, has anybody dealt with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruben Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hello, Yes, Plastic can store checkout data without checking the item in. This is very useful to change from one configuration to another and be able to recover your status later. What does it exactly mean? Well, suppose you have checked out files in your workspace, let's say you have /src/foo.c checked out. Imagine /src/foo.c has three previous revisions, and a fourth one is checked out. Well, now if you want to retrieve revision 2, just to check something on it, maybe compile it, overwriting what you have on your workspace (your checkout). Before overwriting ,Plastic will save your checked out data, so you don't lose your changes with an update operation. Did I answer your question?
