We should be careful about words here. Invention, innovation and creation are all different things. Linux and git are both innovations, as they made known concepts (Unix kernel, DVCS) useable by the masses. They are hardly inventions, because they did not present new ideas or concepts. If they are creations ist debatable. Linus himself says Linux has "evolved", which means there is no specific creator, hence no creation. On the other hand git is (initially) completely created by Linus.
