Yeah, but that one's ok because it's just named after the guy who wrote it.
Ah yes, renowned Git Torvalds.
Look up the origin of the name and you'll understand.

When did dual forms become problematic?

Git is a decidedly British insult and that was the definition being used when Linus named it. He jokes that he named it after himself.
Or GIMP.
