But Richard just said that “checking in”‚ to him, means putting it in 
the central repository.

A better phrasing is:  Commit, then pull. Committing is a local 
operation. Checking in, as Richard sees it, is pushing.

Actually, I think “checking in” isn't even in the git vocabulary. Better 
not to use the term in order to avoid confusion.
