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.
