This is dead wrong or nothing in common use in today swedish.
The link above says that git is an archaic word for "svartkummin"
which is the plant "Nigella sativa" (Lin.).

Actually,
"git" is a swedish word meaning something like "extreme
posession", or wanting something very bad. Its a word thats used
frequently to describe the devils wish for souls.
Quting from the online dictionary http://g3.spraakdata.gu.se/saob/
on "git":
"BETYDELSE: frö av svartkummin."
Betydelse = Meaning
Frö = strong desire
av = to have
svartkummin = evil desire ("svart"=evil and "kummin"=desire)
Can't believe I actually wrote that. "svarkummin" means strong
desire, or even evil desire, not "Frö". "Frö" is just the swedish
word for
"to", and "av" is the swedish word for "have". Better get
some sleep.
