I am torn on this one, in the sense that there are configuration variables that changes the behaviour of 'git' wrapper itself, but this explanation is talking more about all the 161 subcommands (no, I am just kidding and didn't count) in the Git suite in general, so I think s/git/Git/ is probably more appropriate.

After I am done with these patches, somebody (not Thomas or I, as our eyes are too used to staring at git and Git to notice mistakes) has to run "git grep -C3 -e '\<Git\>' Documentation/" and eyeball the output to spot mistakes that should have been "git" but was converted to "Git", as I am mostly concentrating on finding "git" that should have been converted in Thomas's series.
