Of the many ways to spell the three-letter word, the variant "Git" should be used when referring to a repository in a description; or, in general, when it is used as a proper noun.

We thus change the pull-request template message so that it reads
    "...in the Git repository at:"

Besides, this brings us in line with the documentation, see Documentation/howto/using-signed-tag-in-pull-request.txt
