That was my understanding.


However, I'm still happy to discuss things I think Git-Hub could do to make it more appealing, I assume this would be useful to Git-Hub regardless of our decision to move or not as they are things other large OS projects would want too I assume.

I think the next biggest missing feature/design that bothers me is the revision history which could use some design work and usability changes.  For example the amount of information displayed is pretty limited considering the layout and icons, no time, etc.  I don't believe there's good search capability either (by commit history, author, etc).  I wouldn't really use the revision history at all as the git CLI is so much more powerful right now.

I feel like some views are artificially limited by width, so you have to scroll:

Especially apparent on the blame:
http://github.com/johannes/php-src/blame/b59592be8a004a71937240c0bf924b5e3f162ebe/Zend/zend_language_parser.y

Mostly little things, so I can't say it's a hold-up like ACLs, but just some suggestions.
