not quite. It was focused on the Linux Kernel use case because that use case stretched all other version control systems past their breaking point.
As a result, the attitude was, "if we can make it work for the kernel, it should work for everything", and as they found cases where it didn't work well for other people, git was enhanced to fill the gap.
