    1.30 +As English is a notoriously sloppy language, and computer science has
    1.31 +a history of terminological confusion, revision control has a variety
    1.32 +of terms that have the same meaning.  If you are talking about
    1.33 +Mercurial history with other people, you will find that the word
    1.34 +``changeset'' is often compressed to ``change'' or (when written)
    1.35 +``cset'', and sometimes a changeset is referred to as a ``revision''
    1.36 +or a ``rev''.
    1.37  
    1.38  While it doesn't matter what \emph{word} you use to refer to the
    1.39  concept of ``a~changeset'', the \emph{identifier} that you use to
    1.40  refer to ``a~\emph{specific} changeset'' is of great importance.
    1.41  Recall that the \texttt{changeset} field in the output from
    1.42  \hgcmd{log} identifies a changeset using both a number and a
    1.43 -hexadecimal string.  The number is \emph{only valid in that
    1.44 -  repository}, while the hex string is the \emph{permanent, unchanging
    1.45 -  identifier} that will always identify that changeset in every copy
    1.46 -of the repository.

    1.55  This distinction is important.  If you send someone an email talking
