Git is not an acronym
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 tags. The attached removes Git from the acronyms page. -- Daniel Gustafsson https://vmware.com/ git_acronym.diff Description: Binary data

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/

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.
