I need a memorable three-letter acronym, so it will be gip. (Git porcelain In Python) and the C one... later.

GIP also stands for Good Informatics Practices :P or "to swindle", but it's the deprecated usage, I think. It has some racial ties.

Conflicts with: GNOME IP calculator - http://www.debain.org/software/gip/

I'd get myself a better commandline IP calculator than give a good TLA to this. Gnip should be the name.

What's jigit? Did I miss something?
