> commit_previous_commit ? What does it mean?

In subversion, the previous commit of a revision X is X - 1. In git, the previous commit of a commit X is the parent commit.

Because we're introducing the concept of a repository having a parent/owner repository, we're changing this column to be more semantically clear as to what it means.

We can also call it preceding commit but that doesn't make much sense in Git world.
