We've used it in visual fx houses since 1998, no one ever mentioned the name. Many folks don't even know the word, it's British I think.

Likewise. We've been using it in our company in a professional context for years. Coworkers who were introduced to it for the first time have never commented on or were offended by the name. Not a single one.

To those who keep complaining about the name: Do you think git's name should also be changed?

Yes, I do think it should be changed as well.

Fortunately, most don't.
