Versioning may result in an Object Type duplication or loss during a pull operation [2243507]
Pulling from the remote repository when an Object Type name has been modified both remotely and locally causes a merge conflict. The operation creates two different objects when keeping local changes and causes the loss of the renamed type when accepting remote changes. To avoid data loss, all users collaborating on the project must manually update the Object Type name on their local project before pulling from the remote repository.
