  It also has project management features that tightly integrate with Git repositories, which are not stored within the repository itself. Most (semi-)serious projects make use of this, which makes migration harder.

    It would be pretty cool if someone devised a core set of meta-services (e.g. the feature branch / pull-request / review / commit that lived entirely on top of git and some simple command lines so that you could basically not care where your cloud repo was. (I'm expecting that this has been done and I'll be deluged with links...)
