Seriously, git is overused, actually misused, in places where it's a bad fit, just because we know it and it resembles some desired characteristics of the problem at hand. This then leads to package indexes which periodically cull the history and force-push the index. I'm sorry, but while some of the architecture of git may be applicable, just taking git and using it as a package index is plain wrong. Also, putting that much of a load on free github repos is not nice towards github's already regularly DDoS'ed network.
