That's a distinction without a difference. Like saying "Felipe is a person" is wrong, because "Felipe" is not a person, but the _name_ of a person. This is excessive concern with minor details to me. In the minds of most people object identifiers are used interchangeably with the object themselves: "Felipe" is a person, "master" is a branch, and "master..@" is a revision range. > [[def_revision_range]]revision range:: > A set of connected commits to work on, usually specified by > giving two end points, like `origin..mytopic`. endpoints. As for the rest I already raised my concerns. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
