Please allow me to disagree: I've never used git as I never found a
reason to move off SVN (But let's not go offtopic about that.)
My main point is that I don't trust Github to be around
forever/robust/familiar, etc. Even Amazon has had outages.
Remember when Yahoo was the king of search engines?
I still don't see any advantages of Github above a generic tarball
format + URL for distribution.
