gitscm vs. git-scm

[Michael J Gruber]

Hi there,

I (mis-) remembered the git site address and noticed that gitscm.com
returns empty while git-scm.com is our beloved home. I thought, though,
that we have a couple domains with redirects but I may be misremembering
that also. Or DNS is "hicking up".

Cheers,
Michael

Not the DNS. gitscm.com is returning a whole window frame containing
git-scm.com, but then the frame doesn't load (at least in Firefox). The
inspector tells me:

Load denied by X-Frame-Options: http://git-scm.com/ does not permit cross-origin framing.

I guess gitscm.com should just redirect to git-scm.com (sending the
Location: field, and/or with stg like
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://git-scm.com" />
)

Frames are so 2000 ;-).

Ooo, frames. That's my second encounter with zombies today.

We (the git project) don't own gitscm.com. I don't recognize the name on
the whois:

  $ whois gitscm.com | grep ^Registrant
  Registrant Name: Jimmy Ho
  Registrant Organization: Jimhoyd LLC
  Registrant Street: PO Box 182
  Registrant City: Walnut Creek
  Registrant State/Province: California
  Registrant Postal Code: 94597
  Registrant Country: United States
  Registrant Phone: +1.4158468899
  Registrant Phone Ext: 
  Registrant Fax: 
  Registrant Fax Ext: 
  Registrant Email: support@jimhoyd.com

Doesn't seem like a domain squatter, as it redirects to git-scm.com
(albeit weirdly) and does not seem to inject ads or other crap.
