So here's the summary, as I said, *everybody* is in favor of "staging area" or something other than "index", with the exception of Drew Northup, I've put a summary of the conclusion of each person that voiced an opinion on the matter, and I've CC'ed them here, so they can reiterate their opinion, or clarify it. Junio, do you accept that virtually *everyone* is in favor of "staging area" now? == Against == Drew Northup: index is good == For == Jay Soffian: staging area is better Pete Harlan: Aghiles: "staging area" is good for teaching Piotr Krukowiecki: "staging area" makes sense Jonathan Nieder: "staging area" is better than "index" Jeff King: "staging area" makes perfect sense Miles Bader: "staging area" is good Phil Hord: "staging area" is better than index/cache Victor Engmark: maybe "git bucket" David (bouncingcats): maybe "precommit" Alexey Feldgendler: "staging area" translates better into Russian (than precommit) Alexei Sholik: "staging area" is better Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek: "staging area" is better Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: In Icelandic "index/stage" is translated to "the commit area" Sebastien Douche: "stage" is better than "cache"/"index" Thiago Farina: "precommit" is better Mark Lodato: "staging" is the most appropriate Philip Oakley: "staging area" is OK Matthieu Moy: something needs to be done -- Felipe Contreras -- 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
