Hi,

I am learning how git works, and is using the excellent book on the official site. I believe I have located a mistake in one of the images. It is about Figure 3.17 on this page : http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging

As far as I understand it, the right most snapshot called C5 should have been named C6. The texts describes a new snapshot being made from the merge of the 2 branches. Having 2 snapshots both named C5 does not seem like it can be possible.
