Agreed.  There are a few other interesting contenders out there with
significant install bases that probably won't go away soon (Mercurial is
being backed by Sun, for example, and bzr by Canonical), and I expect
Subversion will persist for quite a while for more centralized models.
But at the moment, Git is picking up the most momentum, and I think we'll
find the world converging on either Git or Subversion depending on the
level of conservatism desired.
