Yes, this has been discussed in the past.

Hmm... liked to know the search terms to use :(

GNU git development is dead. The last release is from March 13, 2000.

That doesn't mean it's not used extensively :)

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

I don't think that will happen. The number of source control git users
outnumbers the number of GNU git users, so consider it a lost case.

Okay, this is the point where the "number of git developers outnumber the number
of GNU git developers" is more correct :(

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 :(

I think we found the only GNU git user in the world! ;-)

You might be surprised, it much nicer IMO than mc

A simple workaround would be to install git in a directory not in your
path and put a shell script "sct" in your path that just calls git.
Something like (untested):

The problem is that the distro people are having troubles deciding how to
make this work and us users are having to suffer this :(

Actually it's at the point where I can't use/install cogito because I
already have GNU git installed, and the name clashes... so I can't do
disecting searches on my AMD64 with problems in a certain device
driver since 2.6.13 :(
