   #What is a commit?

   In the simplest literal terms possible, a commit represents a change to lines of code in a revision control system, along with a description.  The mechanics of most VCSes don't prescribe anything beyond that simple model.  It's a concept that has been in use (and [misuse](http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/)) for a little over [40 years](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System), and a central concept in every major version control system ever released.  Given that, and the fact that you're reading this document, and the fact that this document is *in* a revision control system, you're probably already familiar with this concept.

   You are probably also familiar with people making "[bad commits](http://www.commitlogsfromlastnight.com/)", but what you might not be familiar with is a team that makes only "good commits", and more particularly the organizational implications of doing so.  This document aims to explore those implications.
