Hi folks, I maintain a Debian package for Cogito (it just went into "Sid" aka "unstable"), and I just got a bug report from a user that I'd like your input on.

The problem is that Cogito wants to install a git(1) manpage, and so does the GNU Interactive Tools. The GNU Interactive Tools actually have a program called "git", so it seems only fair that they get to call their manpage by the same name. The GIT-as-in-Cogito git(1) manpage gives an overview of the GIT-as-in-Cogito core, so maybe we could install it as git-core(1)?

What do you think?
