:) My German is not so good:
<http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=es&text=Spitze%20eines%20Zweiges&langpair=de|en>

>> What this is used for: the last committed revision of a branch.

MAR> Probably not, "tip" is the right word for "end" (see
MAR> http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=83310&dict=CALD and
MAR> http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=83310&dict=CALD).

I didn't know that tip is used for "tip of the iceberg". That was
useful! Let's finish my translation, then...

Best regards,

Fernando Nájera
