BTW, FSF considers Apache 2.0 as a good license and that "it's unfortunate that the Apache License 2.0 isn't compatible with some free software licenses like GPLv2". Compatibility with it was one important goal for GPLv3. So, this incompatibility was not never designed, it was just a mistake of an early free software license from a different era.
But the crucial point here is that the git upstream is choosing not to correct that mistake by moving to GPLv3 (probably they don't like some other changes introduced) or giving another specific exception to linking with Apache 2.0.
