Commit 651377933e031 cleaned up references to CVS replacing them with Git.
Replacing CVS with Git in acronyms.sgml seems a bit incorrect though as Git
isn't an acronym (but CVS is, hence the original item replaced). We also never
refer to Git with <acronym /> tags. The attached removes Git from the acronyms
page.

According to the README[1] and reference in the Wikipedia page that our
docs point too, "git" can be an acronym based on context. I don't think
it's harmful to leave it in.

Not harmful, but an acronym which we explain with the acronym itself doesn't
seem like helpful use of page real-estate.

Perhaps I am missing something. The two acronyms offered appear to be:
"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
I don't personally care all that much whether it stays or goes at
present, but again, perhaps I am missing something.
