[FLOW3-general] package:freeze - what does this do?

["Christian Müller (FLOW3 Team)"]

Hello Jacob,

package:freeze tells FLOW3 to cache reflection data even in dev context, 
so you will need to unfreeze (or force flush caches) anytime the classes 
in that package change, so when you pull you should do that too.

Cheers,
Christian
