Discussion on: Git saves snapshots, well not really

Pack files are still part of git. I do understand how git stores files, which is why I mentioned pack files.

None of this helps me to understand why emphasizing git as a snapshot storage is helpful to explaining git.

(edit) I could basically say the same about svn. The content model is snapshots, it's storage is diffs and uses them to rebuild the content. But that is not helpful to using or understanding svn.
