Microsoft employee Saeed Noursalehi announced the decision to rename Microsoft's Git Virtual File System (GVFS) due to a conflict with the GNOME Virtual File System (Gvfs) project:
We’ve heard the feedback, so lets use this issue to come up with a new name for this project. As we all know, folks from Microsoft don’t have a rich tradition of picking super awesome names for things. I'm no exception to that pattern, so I was thinking we could all put some sensible suggestions into this issue. I’ll then compile a short list and then we’ll all get to vote on the new name.

I was talking about Gnome. Why would it need a filesystem separate of the operating system?

How else do would you make sure to not be interoperable with KDE?
Heck, if it worked at the OS level or library level, it would work without either of them.
