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).  The difference is that cooperation works
by synchronizing repositories (which does not even need a checked-out
work directory), not by committing to a central repository.
