Really I think it was bitbucket's total sidelining of hg in favour of git. hg features break regularly on bitbucket and today if you visit bitbucket's home page you're greeted with "Bitbucket is the Git solution for professional teams"
If you look at the outside contributions that both projects get, this is pretty obvious. Hg is getting big changes from Facebook, Google, Mozilla, ...
Maybe the answer to the argument that a paradigm change is needed to unsettle git is simply "monolithic repos".
