These are tools! You don't go to university to learn how to use git. Besides, tools that come and go. You can pick these up along the way. You can make their use a part of coursework, but this is not what you go to university to study!
That's the point. CS curricula are supposed to teach you deep skills and principles, not how to fiddle around with git.
If your CS degree never requires you to write a program complex enough to warrant version control you should get your money back. I agree that the theory is more important and tools should not be focused on, but exercising the theory you have learnt is extremely rewarding.
