The reasons were actually related to performance during the search.

Thanks for the report, I've pushed your addition and also moved the list 
to a defvar. Not defcustom, though, to avoid encouraging people from 
changing it unnecessarily (instead of project-vc-extra-root-markers).

Originally, I figured all major backends should be covered, but it won't 
hurt to add one more, especially since vc-got is in ELPA.
