Improving Readability of the entire Codebase

Hello,
    While reading the source codes of Git, i found something. Some
sentences and words are not in their correct cases. For example like
starting a sentence with a lower case whereas it should be in upper
case. I want to go through the entire code base and correct the cases
of these letters to improve on readability. I will also use this
opportunity to learn the source codes and familiarize myself with the
code base. If its a nice idea, someone should please give me the go
ahead. I will be waiting.

Regards
Alangi Derick Ndimnain

That's usually the wrong approach within the Git community as
there are no people who give the go ahead.
Just do it and once you have some results these
can be discussed on the mailing list.

Thanks so much, i am learning the community, so that is why i am
making a lot of mistakes. Thanks for the correction. I have started it
already and submitted a patch. Can you have a look and tell me
something?
