Probably the most high profile Mercurial → Git switch has been the Go
project.

The core of their rationale was workflow for pull request review and
acceptance. I suspect also that Google is trying to switch all their
work to Git.

Go switched from a Google hosted Mercurial repository with Rietveld as
the review system, to a Google hosted Git repository mirrored on GitHub
with Gerrit as the review system.
