Yes, this is a simple mistranslation from Perl to C. A patch
will follow shortly.
On a similar vein, how about this?
I always end up editing the revert sentence by hand to make grammatical
sense.
I think we always talk about "commit xyz".
We never talk about "xyz commit", except when we end up talking about a
commit as a branch head (notably, I would say "the HEAD commit", or
possibly "the top-of-master commit", but here $commit is a SHA1 name, not
anything else).
Hmm?
Makes sense. Sign-off ;-)?
I wonder if we would want to abbreviate this, though.
