Lily-git was for mortals like me to quickly create git-formatted patches 
without having to learn how to run git CLI commands. I still use it 
(because I am lazy) but it is basically a tcl wrapper for a bunch of git 
commands. For users who have never used git before it does make the 
ability to contribute patches much easier.

It also comes from a different repo.

lilypond-git (or $LILYPOND_GIT) is the generic term we use for wherever 
the repo is installed.
