There has been talk of a git mascot a while back in 2005. Some people mentioned a fish or a turtle. Since all the great open source projects like Linux or RethinkDB have a cute mascot, git definitely needs one as well. A mascot gives people a recognizable persona towards which they can direct their unbounded love for the project. It'd even be good if a plush doll of this mascot could eventually be created for people to physically express their love of git through cuddling and hugging.
Given Git's horrible interface (in some cases still) and power, I'd say an ugly witch (maybe doing something with trees). But I don't think anyone can make a cute mascot out of that. Nor does anybody want to cuddling :D -- Duy
