Having worked on a Geogig-as-a-Service proof-of-concept for a moment in time, the problems there were: no way to see commits and changes on a map (GitHub's later addition of a GeoJSON view and diff map being the final knell), and no server to host your repos (i.e. you would host your own Java/Maven server). The word was that a big government or military customer wanted this technology and didn't need any of that consumer-facing stuff, so the open source aspect was more of a "let's see if it catches on". My project never took off because it was my first cloud and Maven project, but it was fun to tinker with the idea until GitHub got around to its GeoJSON stuff.
