FWIW, the Debian popularity contest shows:
http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=darcs%2Cgit...
that: - The percentage of people picking svn nowadays is roughly constant (after a sharp drop as git came along). - The percentage of people picking git is rising steadily. - The percentage of people picking CVS is dropping steadily. - The other VCSes play not role of significance.

Sorry to throw in my 2 cents, but...
Given that the poll is only debian (I use fedora, and lots of people don't use debian based distributions), also that it is only getting people who actually use the poll, and probably a bunch of other caveats.
I probably wouldn't count on those types of polls to have any kind of statistical significance.

Like any statistic, you're free to (mis)interpret it any which way you want. If you have others, I'd love to have a peek.
In any case, I don't base my response on just this statistic. It's also based on the general impression I have from all the developers I'm in contact with (both in real life, as well as direct friends, as well as developer's mailinglists); but since that boils down to a sort of "gut" feeling, that is even more vague than the debian popularity contest (which I never vote for myself, BTW).
