Files can be pinned in SAW just as in SourceSafe. A file
that has been pinned is denoted with a pin symbol. When you pin a file, you are
locking in a particular version of the file. In other words, no changes can be
made to a file as long as it is pinned. Thus, when a Get Latest operation is
performed on a pinned file, the pinned version is the version that will be
retrieved, even if there is a more recent version.
