I'm curious where you see any limits for legitimate usage on GitHub. Or perhaps I've made this blurb on our pricing page ambiguous? http://share.kyleneath.com/c

I'm curious where you see any limits for legitimate usage on GitHub. Or perhaps I've made this blurb on our pricing page ambiguous? http://share.kyleneath.com/captures/Plans___Pricing_-_GitHub-20100601-011340.jpg http://share.kyleneath.com/captures/Plans___Pricing_-_GitHub... I'd love to hear how I could improve it. Edit: To answer your question, we impose soft limits for two reasons. 1) To prevent piracy & overall abuse 2) To protect people from themselves (if you have repos over our limits, you probably need guidance on what files you're committing to your repo)

To add to this, we don't strictly enforce the limits (hence the liberal use of the word "soft"). We aren't going to lock you down if you go over the limit, so why does it matter? The limit is there to help you more than anything, if you're hitting it something is wrong somewhere.

When I posted this, the pricing & signup page did list the soft limits on the page. Looks like you've changed the page to try to de-emphasize that. I'm not going to give negative or positive feedback because I'm not in a position of knowledge to do that.
