Git is available on GNU/Linux, which is a lot, but it ain't "everywhere". My main development machines run MS-Windows. Git sucks on MS-Windows (I don't like it much on GNU/Linux, either). If we are to switch to git, it'll probably make me much less active as a member of the GDB project. If we are going to switch to a dVCS, git is not the only choice. I like bzr better; bzr is a GNU project, unlike git.
