        Advertise for the Git server instead of the CVS server.
        * doc/gnulib-intro.texi (Steady Development): Mention the Git
        repository instead of the CVS one.
        * doc/gnulib-tool.texi (VCS Issues): Renamed from "CVS Issues". Talk
        about all VCS systems generically.
        * doc/gnulib.texi (Introduction): Capitalize `Git'.
