Quoting from wikipedia[1]

(note however that when the United States joined the Convention
in 1988, it continued to make statutory damages and attorney's fees
only available for registered works).

Does that mean if somebody would infringe the GPL on git (e.g. selling
a modified git version without giving sources), it would be harder to
tell him to stop because of the missing attorney's fees in case we drop
out the copyright notices? (I have no deep understanding of legal
processes in the US).

No.  "registered works" in that sentence is about registering
copyright with U.S. Copyright Office.  In-file Copyright circle-c
line does not have much to do with that.
