I know a lot of CS experts who go weeks without saying any of “hunks”, “refspec”, or “tree-ish”. You are making excuses for needless, opaque jargon.

I was a pretty good CS student and do not remember any of those terms outside of git.

Out of these, only “hunk” is a somewhat common term.

“refspec” and “tree-ish” are obscure and git-specific.
