Change use of Apply to Commit in merge requests

I don't think it's entirely clear to users that applying a suggestion creates a commit in the repository. There may be unintended consequences from that lack of understanding. For example, a commit triggers a pipeline, which a user may not want to happen. They may be confused at the number of commits, thinking they'd only made one, the initial commit. A commit is a basic Git concept, and linking these more closely with applying a suggestion may make it easier for users to understand.

Proposal

  • Change Apply suggestion to Commit suggestion. The text Add suggestion to batch should remain unchanged.
  • Change the Applied button that appears when a suggestion has been applied to Committed.
