Hi, but even if they just play with the code. Why not always commit? As long as they don't push nobody else will be affected. Even if you play with the code it's useful to go back to earlier versions. Why would you not want to benefit from this possibility? So this would really only be two commands the commit and the pull command. I hope I didn't miss your point completely.
