Re: [PATCH 0/2] GIT, Git, git

Hi Thomas,

Git changed its 'official' system name from 'GIT' to 'Git' in v1.6.5.3
(as can be seen in the corresponding release note where 'GIT' was 
changed to 'Git' in the header line).

Alas the documention uses 'GIT', 'Git' or even 'git' to refer to the
Git system. So change every occurrence of 'GIT" and 'git' to 'Git'
whenever Git as a system is referred to (but don't do this change
in the release notes because they constitute a history orthogonal
to the history versioned by Git).
I don't have any opinion about the subject at hand, except that making
a consistent convention and documenting it somewhere to avoid future
churn sounds like a fine idea.

Instead, I'm writing for a procedural nitpick ;-): please move the
above rationale to one of the commit messages, so it gets recorded
somewhere that future readers can easily find it.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
