Most of these seem totally unrelated to VCS's.\n\nMost of the news that it finds for those \"trends\" for git are for things \nlike Larry the cable guy's \"git-r-done\" thing (and \"Two more Git-N-GO \nstores robbed\". I'm not sure that's really relevant to the SCM ;)\n\nSimilarly, your bzr|bazaar seems to be all about the \"bazaar\" part, not \nabout the SCM itself (drop \"bazaar\" from there, and the trends are very \ndifferent, especially for that huge peak in India).\n\nAnd \"hg\" seems to be about HG Wells and HG BISSINGER and Sandisk/Sony \n\"Memory Stick Pro-HG\" Format, based on the news hits and on the fact that \nthe \"trend\" has actually stayed fairly constant since 2004, and since hg \nthe VCS was started in 2005, it's either a sign of finding something else, \n_or_ about the incredible prescient powers of internet users.\n\nBut the SVN hits might actually be about subversion.\n\nSo if you do just the trend for bzr and svn, I think you have something. \n\n\t\t\tLinus\n"},{"id":"69779","messageId":"vpqzltq4oud.fsf@bauges.imag.fr","threadId":"12277","inReplyTo":"alpine.LFD.1.00.0802231407210.21332@woody.linux-foundation.org","subject":"Re: Improved Google trends comparison","fromName":"Matthieu Moy","fromEmail":"matthieu.moy@imag.fr","sentAt":"2008-02-24T10:43:06Z","receivedAt":"2008-02-24T10:43:06Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"git@matthieu-moy.fr","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14709?v=4"},"body":"Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes:\n\n> On Sat, 23 Feb 2008, Rhodes, Kate wrote:\n>>\n>> Jakub was commenting on relative VCS popularity just after the 1.5.4 release.\n>> This is just an improved (i hope) version of his Google trends link that\n>> includes the alternate names for subversion, mercurial, and bazaar.\n>> \n>> http://www.google.com/trends?q=svn%7Csubversion%2C+git%2C+mercurial%7Chg%2C+bzr%7Cbazaar%2C+darcs&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0\n>\n> LOL.
