The renaming would obviously explain the extreme initial steepness of the rise, but it shouldn't have much effect on the absolute values or the more recent numbers.

[Look at git-core+git, basically it makes the initial part of the graph fill in a bit, getting rid of the weird kink and making it more smoothly exponential but doesn't really change the conclusion.]

Probably the main distortion is just the fact that it counts Debian users ... subversion has a lot of stodgy corporate users etc that are unlikely to use Debian! :]
