Re: git with custom diff for commits

Here's what the git-commit manpage on kernel.org says: "git-commit - 
Record changes to the repository".

Yes.  Changes, as in "take this _file_ instead".  Not "edit this file, 
remove those lines, add these here, etc.".

That said, I think the wording of the man page could be better.
Perhaps "Record new snapshot to the repository" or "Record current
state of the working tree to the repository".

I can't find something wich is both accurate and newbie friendly ...
("accurate" would probably be "Record index content into the
repository")

How about "record a new revision"?
