Changes, as in "take this _file_ instead". Not "edit this file, > remove those lines, add these here, etc.". That said, I think the wording of the man page could be better. Perhaps "Record new snapshot to the repository" or "Record current state of the working tree to the repository". I can't find something wich is both accurate and newbie friendly ... ("accurate" would probably be "Record index content into the repository") -- Matthieu - 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
