Re: Origin of "git"
Actually, The Man himself wrote (in "Just for Fun" p 88):
And Ari Lemke, who insured that it made its way to the ftp site, hated the name Freax. He preferred the other working name I was using -- Linux -- and named my posting: pub/OS/Linux. I admit that I didn't put up much of a fight. But it was his doing. So I can honestly say I wasn't egotistical, or half-honestly say I wasn't egotistical. But I thought, okay, that's a good name, and I can always blame somebody else for it, which I'm doing now.
