To be frank, that attitude is just as short-sighted and destructive to the open source community as is Lennart's crusade in Linux-land to force everyone on the planet onto his systemd via redhat's giant hand of influence. (They've been trying to tie projects like GNOME onto systemd as a hard dependency -- systemd will only ever run on Linux which means this would limit people's choices.) There are different projects that fulfill different needs, and we should strive to keep them alive for as long as they serve a useful purpose to their users. Users should freely be able choose between tools and benefit from improvements made to each tool. In the grand scheme of things, the development of git is entirely orthogonal to the development of Subversion. They're different tools made for different requirements.
