Stop referring to "msysgit" #430

Closed dscho closed 9 years ago

dscho commented 9 years ago

The documentation should never have referred to msysgit but always to Git for Windows.

Git for Windows was always the name of the end user facing installer. The name "msysgit" refers to the development environment targeting the (preciously few) contributors improving Git for Windows 1.x (now retired!).

It is very unfortunate that this mistake has been perpetuated so long because now users will be even more confused.

It is high time for git-flow to clean up its act and use the correct terminology throughout.

Wow, this project sure is dead. Would have been decent to mention this somewhere public so I could avoid the embarrassment of including a completely unmaintained project into Git for Windows.
