I think tar and diff are necessary to install git-core or any other .deb, 
so it's unsurprising that they've got a 100% market share by that metric. 
Until Debian switches to a git-based package format, git's not going to 
catch up to those...

On the other hand, the "vote" value for patch is a reasonable metric, and 
it's been steadily close to but above the version control systems.
