I think it's fine to talk about changesets. Seems like the concern above
could be eliminated by adding a sentence at the end of the changeset
paragraph that mentions that changesets aren't necessarily stored that
way on disk, but exist in concept.

My nit about the essay is that it overlooks a CVS flaw that bothers me
even more than renaming: Permissions. Decentralized systems allow you to
have full development capabilities whether or not the project owner
chooses to grant you "write permissions" on their official server. This
is the powerful *social* aspect of decentralization that I believe will
have vast impacts well beyond what most people currently foresee.
