This is from the Git-rot website:

"GIT"-ROT will eventually cure in damp wood. However, "GIT"-ROT will not displace water. So wet wood cannot be fully saturated. Any reduction in the amount of "GIT"-ROT simply reduces ultimate strength. Dry the affected area as much as possible. Soaking with acetone will assist drying; however, be cautious of fire hazard. CAUTION: Reaction between part A and B will produce heat. Do not use in high temperatures. Avoid all external additional heat sources."

Depends on how wet it is but personally I would probably grind the wood out with a chain saw and fill it with Seacast or a similar product before I would go through the trouble of trying to dry it just to use git rot.
