Subject: translation difficulties :: revision and commit
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:34:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110427103406.GA7186@jakstys.lt> (raw)
I am doing git translation to Lithuanian, and cannot find the difference
between "revision" and "commit", as I need to create a word for
"commit". It is confusing.
The problem is we don't have a noun for commit. Verb would be „įkelti“,
which is suitable, but noun out of the verb („įkėlimas“) is
linguistically unsuitable and messes up meaning in some cases. Therefore
local community is suggesting word „revizija“ (revision) for noun. It
would make perfect sence in SVN context.
Are there any objections? Can verb "commit" be called "revision" in git
in noun context? What are the differences? From
Documentation/revisions.txt:
A revision parameter '<rev>' typically, but not necessarily, names a
commit object. It uses what is called an 'extended SHA1' syntax.
Is it that revision is a name for commit object, stash object,
cherry-pick object? No? Please clarify.
Thank you.
Motiejus
