Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] README.md: don't call git stupid in the title
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:37:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456389450-27118-5-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1456389450-27118-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>
"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.
