In the Table of Contents, there is a notable inconsistency: first there is "GIT Glossary", followed by "Git Quick Reference" on the very next line.
Running "grep -c" on user-manual.txt, I find 780 occurrrences of "git", 37 occurrences of "Git", and 9 occurrences of "GIT". In general, "git" is the preferred spelling, except at the beginning of a sentence.
Therefore, change "GIT Glossary" to "Git Glossary" for consistency with the rest of the document.
Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other occurrence that should be changed:
* The mention of "StGIT". Looking at the web pages for "Stacked Git" at http://www.procode.org/stgit, I only saw the spelling "StGit", except in http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial, but that page was last updated in 2006.
The other seven occurrences should not be changed:
* Three occurrences were in the output of 'git show-branch' run on the git.git repository.
* One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'.
* One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN".
* Two occurrences were in comments in scripts quoted in a description of Tony Luck's workflow.
