Definition of 'Repository' in the textbook #4

Closed mechome closed 5 years ago

Hello,

In the online textbook W2.2b, it says that "the repository is the database where the meta-data about the revision history are stored", which to me seems like it refers only to the meta-data folder. Instead, from what I know, it refers to the entire directory of the project + the meta-data about the history and revisions.

It seems a bit misleading to me.

Hi,

You are right: the repository stores the files that are changed and the meta-data about the revision history. We will clarify in the textbook.

Thanks for pointing out. Cristina.
