Rather, there is disagreement over what the assignment means.  I really
believe that FSF intends "changes and enhancements to the Program" to
mean what was actually *committed*, and not changes you could have in
your own private repository.  Meaning: you only have to say what should
be commited to decide what is covered by the assignment.

I also believe it is so because FSF does not need more than that, so I
don't see why it would ask for more than that.
