I think it had more to do with GitHub than anything else. In GitHub's early days, they put a lot of effort into marketing Git (e.g. the now defunct "Git Is Better Than X" website), because they needed people to use it in order to use GitHub.

I reckon it was a combination of Github and Rails being early adopters at the peak growth of their hype cycle. In the early days of Github it seemed like most of the projects there were Ruby based (Rails users overflowing).
