Revision Keywords:

HEAD The latest (or “youngest”) revision in the repository.

BASE The revision number of an item in a working copy. If the item has been locally modified, this refers to the way the item appears without those local modifications.

COMMITTED The most recent revision prior to, or equal to, BASE, in which an item changed.
