The text being displayed is indeed the "status line help" text shown
when the user hovers over the Commit toolbar or menu action. I avoided
the word commit because explaining "commit" in terms of "commit" didn't
seem a good idea. :-)
In which way is the text confusing? I'm OK to change it if there's a
genuine issue. (Keep in mind though that changing the English implies a
new string on the most frequently used Explorer display needing to be
translated in ~ 20 languages, so I won't change it without a clear
reason to do so.)
