Github is github because the team behind it had drunk the koolaid. They are responsible for passive-agressive marketing crap like this: https://svnhub.com https://svnhub.com This shows that they never had any intention to promote any other version control system. Linus' marketing is a footnote compared to git's main feature for commercial software vendors: it's abysmal design flaws and utterly obtuse UI. That makes it incredibly easy to earn money by tacking on stuff that makes that abomination actually usable. I'd wager that github's success is built on that.
