Git was designed for the Linux kernel source which everyone using android or another Linux distro is interested in. That helps a lot because if it can handle that project surely it can handle any other codebase.

Not any other codebase. Codebases with huge and often-changing binaries (e.g. images or 3d models), for example, were troublesome for git, at least historically. The Linux kernel isn't big in all ways.
