It seems wise :)

Last question about update.  Actually, I prefer using terminal rather
than web interface.
Could you please tell me if the following procedure is OK?

1) I check the commit date of my last revision with 'git log
path/to/file'
This date doesn't tell me exactly which version of original file I used,
but it's a good reference.
That's why your "committish strategy" explained above seems much
convenient.


2) 'git log path/to/original' and I pick the committish which is likely
to be the one I used in my last revision.  After checking and comparing
I *should* be sure about it.


3) 'git diff committish path/to/original'


This should give me the diff from that committish to current one.

It's OK?

Thanks,
Federico
