The reference to the Git repository has sparked my curiosity.  What is it, briefly, please and where can I find out more about it.  Wikipedia is as clear as mud on the subject - to me, at any rate.

It's the program that handles all the changes to the PSPP source code.
See git's home page is (http://git-scm.com/) for more information.

In addition to what Jason said: Git is a "version control
system".  That means that it helps you keep track of multiple
versions of files, or in this case a whole directories with
nested subdirectories full of files.  It makes available both the
current version and every previous version, along with
information on what changed and why.
