I haven't heard of any Linux distros that have git-imerge packages. I just searched the package archives for Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and Arch without finding it. OTOH I haven't suggested it to any package maintainers nor done much to promote it after the initial flurry of publicity after GitMerge 2013 (blog posts, talk, and interview on GitMinutes).
