Very cool indeed. Maybe it's the rise of GitHub, or simply that the user interface is mature enough that also "regular" users feel comfortable with it.

How were the numbers gathered? I looked around the page but gave up.

The recent rise is essentially due to the git-core package renamed to git, and people doing updates:

Still, Git is now more popular than SVN for Debian users accepting the popcon data gathering.

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! :]

Here are a few other interesting metrics:
http://www.ohloh.net/repositories/compare => around 1/4 of the repositories found are Git repositories. Subversion has a bit more than half, and the last 1/4 is essentially CVS.
http://www.ohloh.net/p/compare?project_0=Git&project_1=Subversion&project_2=mercurial&submit_2=Go => Git has 2,659 users on ohloh, Subversion has 7,667 and Mercurial has 795.
From those numbers, centralized VCS are still dominant, but Git really emerges among DVCS, and is not that far behind.

Git costs $11M (6 years old) while Subversion costs $6.7M (11 years old)?

Actually, now I realize what happened: that's the date the Debian "git-core" package was renamed "git" (the "git" package used to be "gnu interactive tools")!!
