Tangled terrible name for source control.

It's fitting a theme of self-deprecation if we consider the origin of the name "git", no?
why is git's name self-deprecating? Wasn't it just chosen randomly and has no meaning?
"Git" is an insult in UK English.
thank you
You could surely check.. (oh boy your history)
I checked before I commented and it was the only thing that I found

And I don't get the remark about history

In a space where names include git, mercurial, fossil, and jujutsu? I think it's fine.
