This comes up pretty much everytime Github is down. Github is not a replacement for git. Github is an issue tracker and CI platform just as much as it is a git hosting site, none of which git can provide by itself. It's complementary. The comment really doesn't make any sense. It's like being snarky about the distributiveness of git when the Linux kernel mailing list goes down.
