No, his design goal was to create a vcs for the Linux kernel. Frankly most people use git like svn version 2, completely skipping the distributed parts of it.

Git actually doesn’t scale to really huge monorepos.
- Deganta 8y agoThat's because most users don't actually need the distributed part of git. For most projects the sanest solution is to have a single master repository that all users pull/push from/to. IMHO the only real advantages over SVN for most users are the better branch/merge functions.
