Wait, why was this posted by Google? I thought Git was made by Linus Torvalds.

Git was created by Linus Torvalds, but out of the 50k+ commits on the repo, only 250 or so are from him, with only 14 in the past 6 years. [1]

Here is a more detailed analysis, which shows all contributors:

These are contributions by Linus:

and as you can see, his contributions, really tapered off after 2010, while contributions from Hamano remained steady from 2008 to present date, as shown below:

> Linus Torvalds said in 2012 that one of his own biggest successes was recognizing how good a developer Hamano was on Git, and trusting him to maintain it.

It's because a Google employee implemented protocol v2, and wrote a post about it.
