I dislike SourceTree precisely because it uses git terminology. Git’s terminology is bad enough, but it completely breaks down for me in a GUI, because I expect that GUI’s conventions there. For example, on the Mac (as in English, I think), a command named “Remove” removes an item from a containing item. “Delete” also destroys the item. SourceTree, however, uses “Remove” for “git rm” because Unix thinks “remove” destroys items.

To make matters worse, what in a Mac GUI would be called “Revert” or “Discard Changes” is called “Discard”, something that, to me, feels more destructive than it is.

End effect? We have “Discard” being less destructive than “Remove”, while, to me, it feels the other way around.

(I may remember this wrong, but if I do, I think that’s a sign of the problem of not following platform conventions in your software)
