Get back the changes after accidental checkout?

by

Another thing you can look at is through your IDE. I accidentally checkout 2 files and was able to bring back the changes through the ‘local history’ of my IDE (Netbeans). What a blessing!

If you’re using Eclipse, do this by right clicking on the file and going to Team->Show Local History.
