In the context of gitdiffcore.adoc, "fileX" and "fileY" are used as specific variable identifiers for the files being discussed in the diff examples. In this instance, "file" is the noun and "fileX" is the name of that file in the example (similar to how one says "the variable varX"). Changing "fileX" to "X" actually changes the identifier, which might make the documentation harder to follow for a reader trying to track which file is which. Since "fileX" and "fileY" are used consistently as placeholders in this document, I would suggest leaving them as they are. Regards, Siddharth Shrimali r.siddharth.shrimali@gmail.com ```
