Well, since you have no emotions around it whatsoever, and a large chunk of the rest of us likes praise better than blame, there should be no objection to renaming it, right?
The point is, on a subconscious level, names matter. Calling it praise instead of blame frames the entire issue, and primes a different kind of reaction. It's subtle, yes. The underlying data is the same, yes.
But if a subtle change can make life better - or, at worst, keeps it the same - why not do it?

I can confirm this can happen even when only two people in the entire department use git or any form of version control at all. In fact I find it even more likely.
