Git changed its 'official' system name from 'GIT' to 'Git' in v1.6.5.3 (as can be seen in the corresponding release note where 'GIT' was changed to 'Git' in the header line). Alas the documention uses 'GIT', 'Git' or even 'git' to refer to the Git system. So change every occurrence of 'GIT" and 'git' to 'Git' whenever Git as a system is referred to (but don't do this change in the release notes because they constitute a history orthogonal to the history versioned by Git).
I don't have any opinion about the subject at hand, except that making a consistent convention and documenting it somewhere to avoid future churn sounds like a fine idea. Instead, I'm writing for a procedural nitpick ;-): please move the above rationale to one of the commit messages, so it gets recorded somewhere that future readers can easily find it. Hope that helps, Jonathan
