Why is the origin of the name 'dcommit' in git svn dcommit

Question

does dcommit stand for Distributed Commit? Something else?

Answer 1

According to this link, it stands for Delta Commit. More specifically:

• The command to use is git svn dcommit. The d stands for delta (there used to be a git svn commit command that has since been renamed to git svn set-tree because its behaviour was considered a little 'surprising' for first-time users).

Answer 2

Anyway, the everyday use shows how it is useful to don't misunderstand with the standard "git commit". Using the "git sh" is useful as well.
