Just like thinking that committing must be the same as publishing, it is a cvs/svn induced braindamage to think that "checking in" must be the same as "committing". The former is a sign of not understanding the "distributed", the latter "the index". In a world with both check-in and commit as two words usable to denote possibly different concepts, it may make sense to say "you check-in the current status of the working tree files into the index, in order to make commits out of it later". -- 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
