And Ohloh stack count gives yet another idea. Both Debian popularity counter and number of Ohloh stacks are mentioned in GitSurvey2007[*1*], around question about used SCMs. Google Trends above not yet, and perhaps will not because it is even more skewed than mentioned results, perhaps even more than result of Git _User's_ Survey 2007.
