* README.md: don't take 'commandname' literallyMatthieu Moy2016-04-03
| | | | | | | | | The link to Documentation/git-commandname.txt was obviously broken. Remove the link and make it clear that it is not a literal path name by using *italics* in makdown. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* README.md: move down historical explanation about the nameMatthieu Moy2016-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to the description and link to the documentation. Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary. This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of mind of current developers.

* README.md: don't call git stupid in the titleMatthieu Moy2016-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | "the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes Git more accuralety. 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.

* README.md: move the link to git-scm.com upMatthieu Moy2016-02-25
| | | | | | | | | The documentation available on git-scm.com is nicely formatted. It's better to point users to it than to the source code of the documentation. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
