What’s the difference between a commit and revision? We use SVN, and get metrics from Atlassian Fisheye. There is a report in Fisheye that shows the ‘top committers – by revision’ and ‘top commiters – by commits’.
No-one here can tell me what the difference is.
Many thanks!

A commit can contain many file revisions. A file revision is basically a file that is modified as part of a commit so a single commit can have many revisions.

So “Top Committers – By Commit” shows the users who have committed the most changesets/changelists and “Top Committers – By Revision” shows the users who have created the most file versions as part of their commits.
