Unfortunately the only problem with this trend chart is that if you
take the baseline of git and mercurial starting in the time period
between April 2004 and 2005 (i.e., before development of those two
systems started), git's and mercurial's usage hasn't actually grown by
that much.  The problem being of course that git and mercurial are
words that can be used in other contexts, which is somewhat less
likely with svn and bzr, which makes it harder to draw good
conclusions.
