BTW, here is a much better grep (still a few false positives, but most
lines are meanginful):
git grep -n -E "(^|[^A-Z_-])GIT($|[^A-Z_-])" |
grep -v ':GIT$' |
while IFS=: read file line junk; do
git blame -f -L $line,$line $file
done |
less
You can really see that most of the uses of GIT are ancient. I wonder if
we should downcase the few that are in user-visible error messages. I
will let somebody else spend their time on such a conversion if they
want, though. I've already spent enough on this. :)
