100% ack.

We at Horde have been mirroring to GitHub (from our self-hosted Git  
server) for many years, and the benefits of having Git there is so  
obvious that we just switched to GitHub completely last week. We've  
migrated from CVS to Git many years ago, and now moved away from  
self-hosting after 19 years, and we never want to look back.
