Git has Linus, Linux, and Github behind it.

Github was the only reason I switched to Git from Mercurial.

Linus doesn't work on git anymore and I don't see what Linux has to do with anything. GitHub is to me the main reason for the success of git which I've discovered is incredibly difficult to use without GitHub. BitBucket good for me.

Linus works with git because Linux kernel development uses git. You have, by default, thousands of pretty savvy developers working with git.
