I doubt it went that high up, but with any kind of politics it's obviously possible that somebody consciously or unconsciously felt it might become a political problem, and it might have made a difference. However, I think the _real_ issue is that Mercurial has a much nicer introductory phase. The standard mercurial web-page is so much more professional and nice to look at than any git page I have ever seen, and let's face it: first looks _do_ count.
I can only agree. I'm not a git developer, I'm even not a _real_ developer, I only hack for fun during my very poor spare time but web pages, wiki and introduction offered by Mercurial are really a lot nicer to what git is offering at the moment. Perhaps is just a silly idea, but would be possible for OSDL to host a web site (www.git.org) where we can host pages/wiki an so on?
