Subject: A confusing usage of the term 'successor' in the git glossary
Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 11:06:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTimtYGKJUG94c4qFGropVOAgCOHgX5uo8XmWRNvW@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In the gitglossary
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html) I
see this:
,----
| chain
|
| A list of objects, where each object in the list contains a reference
| to its successor (for example, the successor of a commit could be one
| of its parents).
`----
don't you mean predecessor instead of successor?
