I hate to say this after seeing you doing a thorough job in this
series, but because "tree-ish" and "commit-ish" are both made-up
words, I have a feeling that we are better off unifying to the
dashed form, which unfortunately is the other way around from what
your series does.

I thought you might say that so I held on to the commits that
standardize on tree-ish and commit-ish in my local repo.  :)

This series still says "tree-ish (also treeish)" and "commit-ish (also
committish)" in gitglossary(7).  Would you like me to eliminate the
"(also ...)"  part?

I'm not 100% confident that these don't break translations, although
it still builds and "make test" passes.

We will find out ;-)

Changes since v2:
  * standardize on 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish'
  * standardize on 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'

Richard Hansen (7):
  glossary: mention 'treeish' as an alternative to 'tree-ish'
  glossary: define commit-ish (a.k.a. committish)
  use 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish'
  use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
  glossary: more precise definition of tree-ish (a.k.a. treeish)
  revisions.txt: fix and clarify <rev>^{<type>}
  glossary: fix and clarify the definition of 'ref'

I generally prefer not to touch historical documents but the change
in this series is small enough that I think it is OK.

Thanks, will queue.
