Why do you name it "GVFS" instead of something more descriptive like "GitVFS"?

This was discussed a bit in the comments in Brian Harry's last post on GVFS: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bharry/2017/02/03/scaling-g...

We're building a VFS (Virtual File System) for Git (G) so GVFS was a very natural name and it just kind of stuck once we came up with it.

Are you aware that the name was already taken[0] for something which also has to do with file systems?
