Funny that you mention "stampede".  The longer I watch communities of 
people the more I am convinced that "herd" is an adequate description of 
how they behave most of the time.  Just think about the current 
financial crisis...  More often than not hype or publicity seem to steer 
behavior of larger groups of people instead of reasoning.

Note: I am not saying that Git is bad or anything.  I just talk about an 
impression I have about a general pattern of behavior.  The same 
reasoning could be applied to web frameworks etc.

Kind regards
