Pretty interesting. I also tell my students to imagine a commit like a checkpoint in a videogame. I try to teach real VCS, starting with simple patches, tarballs and merges and going through git, like it is an "patch/merge automation process". I realize they really like it and I try to improve some techniques to teach real VCS to students. Glad to hear from people who's passing through same situation as mine :-)
