It's a general feel based on the following things I've noticed:

1. Go to github.com and look at the number of projects there that are
Ruby-based. It's definitely the majority.
2. Rubinius uses git.
3. Three times in the last two weeks, a project I wanted to use in my
own code included the telltale .git hidden dir.
4. The number of typically ruby-oriented blogs espousing the benefits
of git have increased recently.
5. Peepcode felt compelled to create a git screencast.

So, perhaps a bit unscientific, but I was still curious. There
certainly seems to be some buzz about git in the rails/ruby
communities.
