Dolt is Git for Data: a SQL database that you can fork, clone, branch, merge

Problematic name, could become a millstone on the neck of the developer far into the future.

Already I would not use this project because of its name. I’m not offended by it, but I know others will be, and it will only be a matter of time before we have to replace it with something else. So why bother in the first place?

I know the name is not DOLT but it is close enough to cause offense. Imagine the N-word with one typo. Would it still be offensive? Probably to some.

This is the issue with names. Even though the project is called doit the DoIt stylizing makes it look problematic. It's a non-starter, hopefully the author makes a big change. Just choosing lower case for the project would be enough.

It’s not though it is dolt, meaning a stupid person, like git (stupid simple version control.)
