The real problem is that we use "commit" in two senses:

- the action ("to commit", but also, "to do a commit") of making a new
  revision, but also

- the revision in the revision graph ("is this in the commit abcdef?").

This is exactly the noun vs. the verb ambiguity. This is exactly why those are 
mentioned as two different entries in the glossary.

So I do not think that any proposals reflect the ambiguity of "a commit".
I actually talk about "Revision" in German, when I refer to a commit.

Yes, that's what I am leaning towards as well. Let's see.
