I think tar and diff are necessary to install git-core or any other .deb, so it's unsurprising that they've got a 100% market share by that metric. Until Debian switches to a git-based package format, git's not going to catch up to those... On the other hand, the "vote" value for patch is a reasonable metric, and it's been steadily close to but above the version control systems. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*
