It is. When you commit, the version number changes so that if you
want, you are able to retrieve any version ever committed. However
the normal thing is to check out or update to the HEAD version - i.e.
the most recent anyone has committed. You can create branches for
work that should be isolated but again an update of a checked
out branch will pull the latest things committed to that branch.
