I like the "Git for Windows SDK" name.

For me it communicates the intent very well and reflects in my mind the wider world naming conventuion for such things. It probably isn't an "IDE" in the wider sense, though I'm sure it could be, depending on viewpoint.

so +1 on the "G4W SDK". </bikeshedding>
