README.md: don't take 'commandname' literally2016-04-03T17:12:48ZMatthieu MoyMatthieu.Moy@imag.fr2016-02-27T10:46:12Zurn:sha1:c9a014e38e5e2c2fb73b2e971705b320d517c65c
The link to Documentation/git-commandname.txt was obviously broken.
Remove the link and make it clear that it is not a literal path name by
using *italics* in makdown.

README.md: move down historical explanation about the name2016-02-25T17:33:58ZMatthieu MoyMatthieu.Moy@imag.fr2016-02-25T08:37:30Zurn:sha1:a217f07388b847192565c71e5ef6a9cc81633594
The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to
the description and link to the documentation.
Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but
other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary.
This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance
by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a
historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of
mind of current developers.

README.md: don't call git stupid in the title2016-02-25T17:33:58ZMatthieu MoyMatthieu.Moy@imag.fr2016-02-25T08:37:29Zurn:sha1:28513c4f56a2164fd6d3a16ceddbab3a5bf3f191
"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but
hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes
Git more accuralety.
Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it
in the very first words of the README.
The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.

The documentation available on git-scm.com is nicely formatted. It's
better to point users to it than to the source code of the
documentation.
