this debate has taken place many times, please read the archives for the 
details.

short answer, no the name will not be changed unless new (as in 
different) arguments are made.

Subject: git vs git

Hi there,
as few of you might know, there existed a very nice mc/norton commander
orientated tool called git
     Homepage:    http://www.gnu.org/software/git/
     Description: GNU Interactive Tools - increase speed and
efficiency of most daily task

This package have been in existence since many summers, but the name choice for
git - the stupid content tracker, seems to cause several weird problems when
you don't want/expect it :(

Could the name git perhaps be reconsideredto something like SCT? or GnuSCT?

Just asking, as it do cause hassles when an environment is using git
and suddenly
need to load git to download newer drivers etc. and then git isn't
working because the wrong git is in the right place :(

Thanx

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
