[Footnote] *1* git(7) calls "git" itself as "git potty". Is this word still used? I also notice that Andreas's name is misspelled there.
AFAIR I sort of invented that to disambiguate git-the-program from git-the-project while working on writing the program in C. I haven't heard/seen it a lot since then, except on a few occasions where it helped serve that same purpose. I also misspelled my own name in that patch. Perhaps it's time I corrected that. ---%<---%<---%<--- From: Andreas Ericsson <ae@xxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] Correct typo in Documentation/git.txt Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@xxxxxx> --- diff --git a/Documentation/git.txt b/Documentation/git.txt index 9ff4659..6c98ab2 100644 --- a/Documentation/git.txt +++ b/Documentation/git.txt @@ -536,7 +536,7 @@ Authors ------- * git's founding father is Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxx>. * The current git nurse is Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>. -* The git potty was written by Andres Ericsson <ae@xxxxxx>. +* The git potty was written by Andreas Ericsson <ae@xxxxxx>. * General upbringing is handled by the git-list <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
