Well, its basic data model appears to be heavily influenced by
monotone, and then I cribbed from his source code when implementing
inodeprints.  AFAIK monotone 0.18 can now be considered a strict
superset of git's functionality, though with more safety checking and
thus slightly less speed (though we expect to improve the speed still
more).

if it is philosophically debatable (if we listen to philosophers, we
must debate everything, and there would be no end to the discussion).
