Subject: Fwd: what is a snapshot?

I read in every comparison of git vs other version control systems,
that git does not record differences but takes "snapshots"
I was wondering what a "snapshot" is ? Does git store at every commit
the entire files which have been modified even if only a few bytes
were changed out of a large file?

thank you
