I wouldn't say either of these statements are true. This is a DVCS doing what it should do: the source is easily distributed across multiple platforms. That's not a white flag, that's just embracing the technology. Remember that Google is supposed to want what is best for the web, it builds products to support that goal, but that philosophy doesn't preclude using other products (for example, Google is on Twitter). Google Code is not going away, certainly. And I don't think Google has any real interest in GitHub: it's a product that would require such a large amount of retooling to work on Google's architecture that it would be cheaper to clone missing features into Google Code.
