That woul be surprising.  Git was not invented until early April 2005.  At 
the moment I still wait (impatiently, because then my current contract 
ends) for April 2008.

The important thing to realise is that time is such a wonderful dimension 
to be exposed to: not only do you live (experience things that you did not 
know before), but also other people live and learn.

IOW even Linus realised that the git-xxx format is not _that_ good.  Which 
is why -- as you should have realised if you did not subscribe 5 minutes 
ago -- we do not recommend git-xxx at all, but insist on "git xxx".

Hth,
Dscho
