    I think that the comparison is quite accurate: the commit does
    everything that a commit in CVS does.  The difference in workflow is not
    in committing, it is in the fact that everybody has his own repository
    (and all of them are equal).

I think that is a confusing way to compare them.
It focuses on similarities in implementation
rather than on similarities in use and role.
