Current File Versions (Windows CE 5.0)
Updating your local copies of files to versions from the master source code control files is called getting or synchronizing files. In any undertaking with multiple developers, you need to synchronize your local copies with the master files frequently to ensure that you incorporate changes that other developers have made.
In a large team undertaking, changes can be made in files that you normally do not work in but which contain information that you use.
For instance, your source files might refer to libraries. When you synchronize your local files, the master copies of files are copied to your local copy of the workspace. The files are not checked out, and you cannot modify them and check in changes, but you can build with the most recent versions.
If you check out files and make changes to local copies, and other developers make changes to the same files and check them in, your source code control system reports that you have changes to merge. Follow the recommended procedures in your source code control system to synchronize and verify those changes.
