Cool and useful project!

I'm guessing the name is a reference to the popular (well, at least back in the days...) TortoiseSVN application which did something similar for Subversion?

It's a reference to the animal used on the cover of the Subversion book, like how the major text on compilers has a dragon, and is referred to as "the dragon book".

There is also a TortoiseGit that is based on TortoiseSVN
