kernel-dev: Inserted section on Git as a relavent note

Browse Source 
Appendix A of the kernel-dev had a subsection dedicated to just
saying Git was the SCM used by the YP team for development.  Having
this information in a dedicated section was overkill.  The information
is better as an "aside".  I put the stuff in a note.
