After some consideration and re-reading the copy, you folks are right that people could be confused into thinking the word "octobox" is somehow a git concept or something important. I rephrased all the instances where we mention it in order to highlight the fact that we "decided" to name our directory that way. I think it should prevent confusion from now on.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. :-)

It would be hard because it doesn't mean anything, it's just a name. I don't know, seems natural that one of our support docs about Try Git is the first result on Google for me. :-)
