I think git is just as much the be-all and end-all of version control as Altavista is the be-all and end-all of search engines. Meaning: the moment something better comes along (like, I don't know, google?) we will all drop it like we did with cvs.

That said, Linus Torvalds' weekend project seems to have an impact like his experiment trying out the 386 architecture in 1991. So that moment when we drop git may well be many years into the future, so for now it is just as well that it is the de-facto standard.
