I don't find the name very nice: there's too much potential of mixing it with "doit" with a capital "d" and a capital "i".

I mean forget about mixing it up, what about the actual meaning of the word:

dolt noun \ ˈdōlt \ Definition of dolt : a stupid person

I thought this was an odd name too, but I'm guessing it's intentional, as git also is a derogatory word with a similar meaning.

: a foolish or worthless person
