Sounds neat, but I think your name runs afoul of Git's trademark; see https://git-scm.com/trademark

how? i just read through. nobody would "assume a greater degree of association between you and the Git Project than actually exists."

Why not? If you made a backup product called "Windows Backup" (or more relevant to this example, a collaboration product for Microsoft Office called "Office Duck"), Microsoft will definitely go after you for trademark infringement. Why should it be any different for an open source project with a registered trademark?
