Its proprietary nature was very much not advertised, and "git is decentralized, you are not locked in" — except when you are.
Yes, as I said, marketing is what drove 's growth.

I don't think Github filled up missing pieces, they just did it differently with more marketing. If you know how to git clone, doing a git init --bare isn't really a big achievement anymore. Discussions about the code and issues has been done in mailing lists since forever, it's why patch exists. Github does it differently, and effective marketing made it so people think it's the only way to go now.

It is not marketing alone, imho. It is the entire positioning of the platform. That positioning is marketed, of course. But the positioning comes first and determines strategy of what features they are gonna include.
