But waht we need is the 'translation' as to why it's true ;) I see that homeomorphic = a one-to-one correspondence, continuous in both directions, between the points of two geometric figures or between two topological spaces. So I think that means if my SHA1 equals your SHA1 we have the same commit tree and DAG.
I'm guessing the sub-manifolds is about branches. Any more suggestions?
