    While I agree 100% with your main point,

    "it’s a graph of commits” makes no sense to a layperson

    You’re probably putting your standards too low. Every coder should know what a graph is, the basic concept at least. Really if elementary schoolers are supposed to understand multiplication, they can be taught to understand graphs too. Restrict it to “tree” and it’s even easier.

    the word “diff” makes no sense

    diff is short for difference. And that basically explains it
