We (the git project) don't own gitscm.com. I don't recognize the name on the whois:

  $ whois gitscm.com | grep ^Registrant
  Registrant Name: Jimmy Ho
  Registrant Organization: Jimhoyd LLC
  Registrant Street: PO Box 182
  Registrant City: Walnut Creek
  Registrant State/Province: California
  Registrant Postal Code: 94597
  Registrant Country: United States
  Registrant Phone: +1.4158468899
  Registrant Phone Ext: 
  Registrant Fax: 
  Registrant Fax Ext: 
  Registrant Email: support@jimhoyd.com

Doesn't seem like a domain squatter, as it redirects to git-scm.com (albeit weirdly) and does not seem to inject ads or other crap.
