So it would be a mistake to translate "revision" and "commit" with the same word. This would hide the special meaning of revision and the user wouldn't see that there's a difference. I'll amend the commit which unifys the translation of "revision" and "commit" in the way that "revision" will be translated as "Revision" in the whole file. I'll also update the glossary. >> Since we've already translated >> "revision" as "Revision" in a couple of other messages, I'll make a >> new "s/Revision/Version" commit on top. >> >>> Since it's only a single nit, feel free to add my ack when you >>> reroll: >>> >>> Acked-by: Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>> >>> >>> [1] https://github.com/ralfth/git-po-de/wiki/Glossary >>> >>> -- >>> Thomas Rast >>> trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch >> >> -- > > Philip Oakley -- 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
