Bitbucket was originally focused on Mercurial. At the time I think Google Code or whatever they called their Mercurial/SVN hosting was an option too. There was also Gitorious, etc. At that time even Bazaar was still being used by some prominent projects.

Bitbucket has supported Git for a long time now.
