I'm trying to name a class that will hold information about a transaction (during pre-commit) or a revision (during post-commit). Because the information is pretty much the same, e.g path, url, files changes, log message, etc., I thought I could have a common class and then either use it in both pre- and post-commit hooks or use it as a parent class of more specialised Transaction and. Revision classes. I'm working in Perl, btw.

I'm leaning towards calling it TxnRev to be honest.
