From git man page. I bet you haven't seen this.

`git - the stupid content tracker`

I already knew what git also means. (I'm no native), but I would never ever imagined that they put it in the description in man.
Just had to ensure this on my Raspi. :D
Also: Why the hell git needs a seperate help-page ($ man git-help) for the git --help command.

The true origin of the word git actually lies in British Slang; the word means idiot, stupid person.
