Someone else will probably remember the name of the git.. but git the source code manager was written because someone copied perforce (a proprietary source code management tool that Linus was using for the Linux kernel, on the condition no one made a opensource free version of it) I think it was the guy of samba fame? that did it, but perforce got mad and Linus put together git in a hurry to replace it - I think it was called git because of the guy who made the opensource perforce tool.

My memory isn't as good as it used to be, but I think that was what happened.. a google search would probably correct me :P
