True, I have forgot that "I use this SCM" (or "I used this SCM") doesn't
necessarily mean that one _choose_ this SCM. One can use some SCM

make it interact with respectively Subversion and Perforce, and trying
to make it look like one uses this other SCM.
I would expect people to still count those as using the other SCM. git-svn
and git-p4 can do a lot, but they don't do everything, once in a while I
would expect to need to use the native commands for the upstream SCM
I find it interesting that the number of people who use git and the other
DVCS systems in so small. Is this becouse the 'market share' of those
other systems is small? Or becouse people who learn git aren't willing to
put up with other systems (or vice-versa)? Or is there some other trend
or tendancy that makes people who select one DVCS more likely to work on
similar projects, so people interested in those types of projects will
generally just see a single DVCS system
I don't think 59% (in the example case of using currently Subversion)
is small. Take into account for example that there are people who (as
seen from responses to other questions in this survey) use SCM (Git)
only to track their private work, never publishing. Then there are
people who do not track (perhaps with exception of web interfaces)
other projects development using version control systems, even if they
do follow their development.
Subversion is not a Distributed SCM. I am pointing out the much smaller
overlap between distributed SCM systems.
