-This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager. It
-doesn't do a whole lot, but what it _does_ do is track directory
-contents efficiently. It is intended to be the base of an efficient,
-distributed source code management system. This package includes
-rudimentary tools that can be used as a SCM, but you should look
-elsewhere for tools for ordinary humans layered on top of this.
+Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
+unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
+and full access to internals.
