Subject: [PATCH] git-commit.txt: Reword the description of git commit.
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:59:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239901174-30072-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
"Record changes" insists on recording the _delta_ between the parent
commit and the new revision, which can be mis-leading, since Git is
really snapshot-oriented. The new wording may be less misleading.

I'm actually resurecting a new thread :
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/68647/focus=68823
where a user was not understanding why custom diff drivers were not
used by "commit" to tell whether the tree had changed ("I keep doing
git diff's and it says there is no difference, but then git commit
keeps telling me there is").
