So basically that is to say that in this context (at least) we should
just stop saying 'revision' and use the noun 'commit'.

I'd rather explain it as: the 'commit' command makes a new 'revision'
object.  This is consistent with our current ui and code, and i think
reasonably clear, unless i'm missing your point.
