From: Daniele Sassoli <danielesassoli@xxxxxxxxx>
The docs mostly point to using git/git as one's remote, however, when it
comes to Sending a PR to GitGitGadget section, the reader is told to use
gitgitgadget/git, with no mention of git/git, potentially leading to
some confusion.
Clarify that both gitgitgadget/git and git/git can be used, albeit with
some differences.
