Possible misspelling in Chapter 3

[YueLinHo]

First page of Chapter 3 under the Branches in a Nutshell section 5th paragraph:

"When you create the commit by running git commit, Git checksums each subdirectory (in this case, just the root project directory) and stores those _tree_ objects in the Git repository."

Not sure if you really meant "tree" or "three".

(above message is copied from git-scm.com issue 601)

File: book\03-git-branching\sections\nutshell.asc
Line: 20

In my understanding, it talks about tree object.
Is this good enough?

Git checksums each subdirectory (in this case, just the root project directory) 
and stores them as tree object in the Git repository.

I'm pretty sure this part had already been fixed up... your rephrasing is clearer.

[YueLinHo]

This is v1:

Running git commit checksums all project directories 
and stores them as tree objects in the Git repository.

@jnavila this issue about Pro Git v1, which is deprecated.

From progit2/master:

When you create the commit by running git commit, Git checksums each subdirectory (in this case, just the root project directory) and stores those tree objects in the Git repository.

I agree with @YueLinHo that there is some possible ambiguity around three (number) or tree (git object or leafy thing in forest 🤓 ). I'm not sure on how we could make this clearer?

Maybe we should just use a 1, 3 and 5 when referring to one, three and five. This might remove the ambiguity, and make it instantly clear that whether we're referring to a number 3 or a object tree.

From progit2/master:

Your Git repository now contains five objects: three blobs (each representing the contents of one of the three files), one tree that lists the contents of the directory and specifies which file names are stored as which blobs, and one commit with the pointer to that root tree and all the commit metadata.

Maybe a rewrite to this is clearer:

Your Git repository now contains 5 objects: 3 blobs (each representing the contents of one of the three files), 1 tree that lists the contents of the directory and specifies which file names are stored as which blobs, and 1 commit with the pointer to that root tree and all the commit metadata.

Firstly, I kind of disagree with the premise of this issue. If we had intended the reader to receive the idea of a plant instead of a number, we would have written it that way.

Standard English style is to use words when referring to numbers less than 10. I think we want to stick to that convention. I'd be fine with @YueLinHo's proposal though.

[HonkingGoose]

The thing about the leafy thing in the forest was not meant seriously of course 😄.
I'm no native English speaker, so if you find the current text clear, I'll defer to your judgement of course. 👍

Do you want a pull-request with @YueLinHo's proposal then?

[ben]

Sure! Then we can close this out.
