I have to agree with this last sentence. Most of the git gui terms are really not understandable to me (and even the team I introduced it too). The only way to actually "guess" what it means is by knowing the position of the buttons and then getting the actual command from the position. AFAIK it makes no senes to translate terms like "commit" to "Abzeichen" like it is used in git gui. I don't know *anybody* here in my IT business environment who uses this word or even would guess what it means. Everyone is used to the Denglisch Version "committen" or "einchecken". But in case you insist of translating this word (which I wouldn't!!!), may I toss in another suggestion: "Umsetzen" -Peter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
