Git Integration with File Service

General
1

Reading this item in the documentation:
http://backendless.com/documentation/files/rest/files_git_integration.htm
one thing is a little unclear.

The text says: When the git integration is turned on, all files present in or uploaded to the file storage are immediately committed to the repository. This seems pretty unambiguous.

If one turns on Git integration, does the entire File Service come under Git control? That is, does a file added to the File System by any method essentially become a Git commit?

Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

The answers are yes and yes. The git integration is bidirectional - anything you commit to git will end up in the file storage accessible via console and API. The same is true in the opposite direction - anything you upload via File Service API or console will be committed to the git repository.
