The widely used books on Git by Scott Chacon or Jon Loeliger (and
many others) are using 'Git' instead of 'git' when talking about the 
whole system. So IMHO it would not be wise to change our internal 
documentation from using 'GIT'/'Git' to using 'git'. The internal 
documentation should be a natural continuation of these books 
by content and style.

- Just my thoughts.
