Thanks. So it would be a mistake to translate "revision" and "commit" with the same word. This would hide the special meaning of revision and the user wouldn't see that there's a difference.

I'll amend the commit which unifys the translation of "revision" and "commit" in the way that "revision" will be translated as "Revision" in the whole file. I'll also update the glossary.
