H.5 Update and commit

Every now and then, the various copies of the project that team members have on their local
disks need to be synchronized. This is done via the central repository. Use the Commit function
to copy your changes into the repository, and use the Update function to copy changes from the
repository (which other team members have committed) into your own local copy. It is good
practice to commit and update frequently so that the changes at any step do not become too
substantial.
