Yes, relative.svg and relative-zoom.svg show the number of new repositories
found by Open Hub. To be specific, these are the numbers:

Bazaar: 75
CVS: 59
Git: 8230
Mercurial: 215
Subversion: 607

These numbers can of course be discussed, but as a source, I believe Open Hub
should be one of the more objective ones.
