git specifically, maybe not, but something like source code control is reasonable. Passing new legislation adds, removes or modifies text from an entity's legal documents (US or State code, for example). You see this in bills that say things like "This modifies Section 47, subsection 3, paragraph 2 to say 'people' instead of 'persons'". So a bill can be thought of as the commit message, and implementation of the bill are the changes to the text. The executive is the "merge approver".
