Invorder to see what the file looked like at any given moment, it is necessary to add up all the relevant patches to the file in order until that given moment. f- The main problem with this is that everything is stored locally. If anything were to happen to the local database, all the patches would be lost. Ifanything Were to ae to a single version, all the changes made after that version would be lost. so, collaborating with other developers or a teamn is v 0 ‘eam is ver en Ty hard or nearly © scanned with OKEN Scanner
