"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes Git more accuralety. Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it in the very first words of the README. The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.

This self-derogatory reference shouldn't offend those who didn't help write it. Having said that, I agree with the spirit of 4/5 and 5/5; but it is sad that this line is not resurrected by 5/5 in some way.
