Warping minds with the phrase "changeset"

I wrote up a blog entry today that is intended to be the basis of a later,
better written article. In the entry I use the term "changeset"
(reference: http://jblack.linuxguru.net/CVStoBazaarNG).  The comments I've
received were generally favorable and limited to 'fix up this sentence and
its pretty good' type comments. 

One of the more experienced users expressed a concern to me that I warping
minds and that I should stop: "We do not have changesets. Please stop
warping peoples' minds." I'm not quite sure what to do with the comment. I
want to convey a clear conceptual understanding in my writing that we have
something that is not like CVS. I do not want to so at the cost of
destroying minds.

It may seem that I overly focus on terms. I'm not being myopic; I just
usually end up being the first person to try and put our concepts into a
descriptive format.
