This may be a meaningless pedantic argument, but I noticed that the standard git documentation talks about "The Three Trees", being "HEAD", "Index", and "Working Directory".
I'm aware of the fact that the internal data structure is a tree, but it seems very strange to refer to "HEAD" and "Index" as a "tree". The former is clearly just a single link to a node in the overall tree, and the latter is clearly a list of nodes in the tree. Is there something I'm missing that makes it reasonable to refer to these as "trees"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
