openhub.net (formerly ohloh.net) has an interesting comparison of the
number of public repositories on the net, based on searches of popular
hosting services. This comparison is available at

market share between Bazaar, CVS, Git, Mercurial and Subversion.

I've been monitoring this since 2014-08-05 to see how things were
developing, and it's a good indication of the popularity of the various
version control systems.

I've created a repository at
<https://github.com/sunny256/openhub-repositories> where the project
scripts and data files are stored, along with graphs in SVG format.

The graphs are pretty interesting:

 Graphs of relative growth between the various version control systems.

 Zoomed-in version of relative.svg. Git goes through the ceiling.

https://github.com/sunny256/openhub-repositories/blob/master/graph/repos.svg
 Total number of repositories.

number of repositories is an interesting datapoint, but activity in the repos would be far more interesting. There are a lot of repos of various types out there that haven't been touched for years.
