GIT 的缩写是什么？
what is the abbreviation of GIT?
在手册中，GIT是"the stupid content tracker"。 "the stupid content tracker" 的缩写不是 GIT。我怀疑GIT.
的缩写是什么
根据 initial commit to the git tree:
"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 mispronounciation 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
注意：git拼写为'git'（命令）或Git（产品）。
不是 "GIT"，因为它 不是 首字母缩略词，而是意图的表达：一种工具 "just" 进行版本控制而不试图变得聪明（并包括大量其他功能）
例如参见“git-merge-stupid.sh”
注意越recent 2016 commit去掉那个标题：
-Git - the stupid content tracker
-================================
+Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but
hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes
Git more accurately.
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.
Nicolas Pitre 于 2007 年开始使用 commit e19b91b（2007 年 2 月 13 日）。
Update RPM core package description (Git isn't as stupid as it used to be)
原来的描述是：
This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager.
It doesn't do a whole lot, but what it does do is track directory contents efficiently. It is intended to be the base of an efficient, distributed source code management system. This package includes rudimentary tools that can be used as a SCM, but you should look elsewhere for tools for ordinary humans layered on top of this.
替换为：
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.
