Well, actually almost all the page was already in markdown. The real change done by this patch is a rename, and change the asciiart in the title:
Show 9 quoted lines
>> --- a/README >> +++ b/README.md >> @@ -1,8 +1,4 @@ >> -//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// >> - >> - Git - the stupid content tracker >> - >> -//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// >> +# Git - the stupid content tracker
Markdown would also accept ascii-art underlining.

we can use this if people think it's easier to read in the source.
