Don't want to be the gitorious fanboy here. I'm using both and I'm not involved with either project (although I kind of run an internal gitorious instance here at work). I have to agree with you: Both on one server is not possible. The only way to make this work would be cumbersome: Install a public and a private instance of gitorious. For private projects: Works just as before. For public projects: Push to somewhere and make the post-receive hook propagate the change to public/private. Ugly? Hell, yes. It's nothing but a workaround. On the other hand: You can mix GitHub and Gitorious just fine. Your client (if you use one, or the git cli) doesn't care about the hosts, so having http://myPrivateGitorious http://myPrivateGitorious repositories next to http://github.com http://github.com repositories would work fine and you gain the best of both worlds. It's the same system. You can easily push/pull/merge from one to the other, it's not like the decision to use one or the other has to be an XOR.
