There are also clashes with SCM terminology used differently by different
projects, which are sometimes couled with differences in philosophy,
and sometimes by different undestanding of given name.
For example "lightweight checkouts" and "normal/heavyweight checkout"
are from what I gather, is supporting "CVS/centralized model" and
"disconnected CVS model" (i.e. we can commit changes locally with
no network access, and we save local changes), at least when we
do "checkout" remotely and not on one local filesystem out-of-the-box.
