(Thanks for the pointer, excellent book) I do not know who was first, and who came later, but <http://git-scm.com/book/de/v1/Git-Grundlagen-%C3%84nderungen-am-Repository-nachverfolgen> uses "versioniert" as "tracked" LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 git status gives: nichts zum Commit vorgemerkt, aber es gibt unbeobachtete Dateien (benutzen Sie "git add" zum Beobachten) Does it make sense to replace "beobachten" with "versionieren" ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
