"allotted" is a valid word, and I think it would work fine in the code.
It's probably what was intended, anyway.

I'm not sure whether git has a standard for which dialect of English is
to be used, but the three words on the left are considered correct in
most non-American dialects.  Characterizing them as "typos" isn't
strictly correct.  Perhaps "Convert comments to American English" is
more accurate?
