Improvement of GIT implementation: read-only mode in Studio Pro

24

When I start making changes in Studio Pro, I often forgot to first pull incoming changes.

To decrease the amount of merges/rebases, it would be nice if Studio Pro opens a project first in sort of read-only mode, where you cannot make any changes. Then, when you want to change something, a pop-up suggests to first pull all pending incoming updates from the GIT repository if there are any. Then the normal mode is activated, where you only have to merge/rebase when others have pushed changes since you switched to that normal mode. After you pushed your changes, Studio Pro could switch back to read-only mode again.

This would prevent making changes on an 'older' version, and therefore minimize the occurences to merge or rebase.

Addition, the check if there are open changes can be done automatically and if there are none, normal mode can be activated immediately. This could also be a nice feature in Mx9 on startup.

Extra addition, this could be a setting that can be enabled/disabled in your preferences.
