Things are slowly changing, but it's still heavily dependent on the university. I graduated in 2015, and we're now offering freshmen a "tooling class", which introduces students to some popular workflows. The curriculum is changing pretty frequently, but git is covered in-depth, along with keeping code on GitHub, pull-requests, etc. Other VCS like svn are discussed briefly. The class also goes over popular IDEs and editors (vim, emacs, sublime...) The class isn't led by a professor, but by a group of older students that have encountered these things in internships. Maybe that's what makes the difference?
