I have two directories. The one called bitbucket/source contains the cloned 
repository which was set up by another developer and the other one is 
called bitbucket/sourcecode which contains the same from my localhost so 
some of the files in there have been modified due to code changes. So now 
supposedly I create a branch and add those files from bitbucket/sourecode. 
A ridiculous amount of work. I'm going to be spending 80% of my time on 
overhead now that we have this new source control requirement.
