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