| To me it sounds pretty weird.  Added *and commited* files are no longer
| "added"---they are "versioned".  That's how *all* version control system I
| know use the term "added".  I'd suggest:

In technical terms this may be the most accurate representation of the
affairs. However the first time user searching for information

         ... I just added files
         ... committed them in

asks logically where are those? He doesn't necessarily know that they
are now in category "versioned". so perhaps that explanation could be
added there too.
