It seems as though changing to GitVFS or GitFS would be so much simpler, and more descriptive to boot. I hope they handle this better. Mozilla had a similar problem with Firefox in the early days. Initially it was called Phoenix, but the Phoenix BIOS people objected. So the product was rebranded Firebird. The Firebird DB people had a problem with this, and while Mozilla WAS taking this seriously, they didn't communicate with anyone outside for nine months before rebranding as Firefox. It would have been trivial to let the Firebird people know a rebranding was in process, but instead the argument went on for months with Mozilla looking really bad in the process. Mictrosoft should really rethink this.
