If I were to decide today to change the spellings, with an explicit purpose of making things more consistent across documentation, it may make sense to use even a simpler rule that is less error-prone for people who write new sentences that has to have the word. How about treating it just like any other ordinary word? That is, we say "git" (without double-quotes, of course), unless it comes at the beginning of a sentence?
The widely used books on Git by Scott Chacon or Jon Loeliger (and many others) are using 'Git' instead of 'git' when talking about the whole system. So IMHO it would not be wise to change our internal documentation from using 'GIT'/'Git' to using 'git'. The internal documentation should be a natural continuation of these books by content and style. - Just my thoughts. --- Thomas
