I'm not sure I'd consider git to be "low-hanging fruit"

Given that Torvalds apparently went from design to implementation in 3 days, and 2 months later had it officially managing the kernel, I wouldn’t say it was particularly high-hanging.
Pretty sure Git was a side project so that Linus could manage Linux source code like he wanted.
