Subject: [PATCH] glossary: a revision is just a commit

The current definition of 'revision' sounds like it is saying that a
revision is a tree object.  In reality it is just a commit.

This should be especially useful for people used to other revision
control systems trying to see how familiar concepts translate into git
terms.
