What about GITweb?

IMO some of these look nicer when everything is lowercase.
e.g. "standard git committer ident format".

Git but not Gitweb?  IMO it reads nicer as "cloneable git URL",
which also avoids this mismatch, but like I said that's my opinion.

$ git grep 'git repositor' | wc -l
226

These changes touch, for example, git-clone.txt to make it
say: "Make a 'bare' Git repository".  Why not lowercase?

In that same file it has "git repository", in lowercase,
in a later paragraph.  I'm not sure which way is preferred,
but I think they should be consistent.

Anyways, just some small notes.
