Alright, I was wondering why this was published on the Google Opensource website. I had no idea. Yet, the Git project itself has not been published under their umbrella.

We currently only list project that are or were primarily developed by Google. We decided to include projects that started at Google and were since donated to foundations, such as Kubernetes.

But we aren't yet including projects where we are just heavy contributors, but they're not "Google projects". That includes Linux, git, LLVM, and a host of others. We do want to recognize them in our project directory, but want to make sure that they are distinguished from Google projects so that we're not implying something that is accurate.
