Tried that too, and I got the bug reports to prove it. ;-) The problem there is that tons of docs and webpages and mailing list archives talk about running "git this" and "git that". So the poor confused Debian user tries the recipe and gets "command not found", and gives up in disgust. Or worse, mails the git list saying it doesnt work, and wasting everyones time debugging the intentional package mungling. Really, the bottom line is we should all mean the same thing when we say "git-core" and "cogito". -- Sebastian Kuzminsky
