-"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
-
- - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
- actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
- mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
- dictionary of slang.
- - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
- works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
-
-Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
-unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
-and full access to internals.
-
-Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
-It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
-hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
-
-Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
-
-See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
-Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
-Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
-If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
-read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
-documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
-commandname".
-
-CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
-("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
-installed).
-
-Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
-including full documentation and Git related tools.
-
-The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
-mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
-requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
-to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
-majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
-http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
-
-The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
-git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
-the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
-reference for project status, development direction and
-remaining tasks.
