In my professional experience the distributed nature of git isn't used. Individual engineers don't distribute patches or pull branches amongst themselves, there's always still a central repository that is "the repo". Compliance audits of code and build artifacts in the business world pretty much dictates this model.

I think the fact that you can use git locally to work within your perforce workspaces indicates some commonality among the two models, but git has way more features, edge cases, and jargon.
