Or more Linus' fingers ;)? ) I think the logo should be a tortoise. Why? Because it's somewhat ironic. One of Linus' complaints about SCMs in-general and one of his praises of BitKeeper was performance/speed. The tortoise is typified as being a slow and cumbersome animal. Also, the hare, the tortoise' competition, is typified as being quick and possessing fecundity (things that you'd want to identify with "git"... and the job of any decent C programmer is to obfuscate meaning when possible J/K). Oh, and there's a picture of a tortoise named "git.gif"... http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/juniorglory/images/git.gif Perhaps not.
