9There's a big difference between an exponential increase (like we see with the facebook graph) and the original graph the question included. If that graph were to be believed, there's a dramatic discontinuity in the slope at a specific point -- that would imply some event that happened, not a network effect. And indeed, it sounds from other answers that this event was the package being renamed! :)starwed– starwed2012-11-30 17:25:58 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2012 at 17:25

This chart might be wrong, but there are other surveys that demonstrate that Git's growth has been exponential. For eg. The Eclipse Survey as discussed in this post (which makes the same point I am making, but in a much better way): jamesmckay.net/2012/06/…nikcub– nikcub2012-12-01 06:46:01 +00:00Commented Dec 1, 2012 at 6:46

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
