Not necessarily ;-) but I'm not sure if the time is right for an
independend services company doing _only_ git.

However, git is the kind of SCM that a big distro needs to keep track
of all their "vendor branches" or "patches against upstream". Ubuntu
pays at least one full-time SCM developer, Martin Pool, to maintain
Bazaar NG and accesory tools.

IIRC MySQL was looking quite seriously to drop BK and with the savings
in licenses, can surely affort to hire a GIT guru to "train the
trainer", solve problems/bugs and write internal support tools. Others
will follow. It shouldn't be too hard to find the right place.

Or a large FOSS services focused company (like Catalyst) that uses git
and offers support as part of a larger bundle. (<spam>we're hiring,
and putting git hackery in your cv is a winner</spam>). There are
plenty of gaps and places for git hackers.
