I'm convinced that's ment to get people riled up.
Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.
But then why use
Term: explanation
and directly below that
"Term"-- explanation
And directly between those: "Term"--explanation (no space after "--")
I think
--explanationis the command line switch to output a brief summary of a git command.
