Yeah I'd agree on that. I'd even go a step further and claim it would be best to show projects and companies coming from most different branches of business.

("Can I switch my business over to Git? Oh well only these internet hacker companies are using it, I -as an air drier firmware writer shop- cannot relate to, so I keep using RCS.")

Also looking at the open source projects, most of them seem to me as large-ish umbrella projects, so a smaller(?) project like emacs would be huge win to show off Git can work well with all kinds of projects.
