#37279: git-core: Rename to git
-------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  raimue@…     |      Owner:  ciserlohn@…
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:               |       Port:  git-core git
-------------------------+--------------------------
 Rename `git-core` to `git`.

 The port was named git-core as the original intention of the upstream
 project was to use git in a larger set of tools. This has not turned out
 to be true and thus, this port should be renamed to plain `git`. This name
 is not taken by any pre-existing port and would be easier to recognize the
 right thing for new users. The dependent ports need to be updated as well.

 Please keep git-core as a `replaced_by` stub port such that old references
 in tutorials still work as expected.
