Yeah, I know your username, and I'm sure you understand git internals and CAS, etc. I still think your post is misleading to readers as most will walk away thinking git is stacking up deltas on each commit. This is evidenced by three people trying to correct you in this thread. Regarding CAS/CoW, I don't think that is any less of a complete exact snapshot. There are no deltas involved, and the representation is completely independent of any other commits (other than the parent commit hashes).
