RE: Re: Modifying file properties in pre-commit

Yes but isn't it the same as working within a team? It is like you
commit something and then someone after you commit a new version, so
your version now is not up-to-date. Why would you call it "break the
checkout"?

Well, yes, but you'll break the checkout you did the commit from since
the
server side copy is not the same as what it thinks it sent.
