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.

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. -- Daniel Gustafsson https://vmware.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 6+ messages in thread

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. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 6+ messages in thread
