Maybe I wasn't explicit about it, but I did (and do) have one:
New customer with a github org and I want everything from their org so I can have a spelunk through the code while getting up to speed, build out dependency graphs to get a feel for how things interrelate, etc.
In fact, making it possible to script checking out an org's worth of perl repositories and shoving them into an http://p3rl.org/App::opan http://p3rl.org/App::opan instance easily was the thing that was painful enough for me to finally install git-hub.
So, yeah, it may not be a common use case but it's actually an essential feature for me. Whether this means you should prioritise stealing it likely depends on how common it is, which I can't answer :)
