I like to think, humorously, that the name of the DVCS came about from the BitKeeper mess that ultimately led to the creation of git:

* Andrew Tridgell is a git for reverse-engineering BitKeeper

* Larry McVoy is a git for throwing a tantrum and withdrawing free BitKeeper

* Linus is a git for blaming Trigdell as the cause of Larry's reaction

Personally I think they're all gits.
