Let's just hope that github doesn't remove its online presence too (they are all centralized there now ;)

  Not really. A Git repo isn't really beholden to any other repo. Some are considered definitive, but truly they can all stand on equal footing.

    While this is true, look at the difficulty people had in reconstructing his work from github. People may have clones of the repo, but maybe not with all of his latest commits.

  Keyword: Distributed Version Control. People got the stuff also on their disks.

    Yeah, but it seems they have no other connection point than through Github... Then distributed turns into isolated...

      It would be cool if people's self-hosted public repos could be crawled and indexed to create a repo search engine.

        1. It would be cool if... 2. Could it work that... 3. Let's get started!

        That is a pretty awesome idea. GitHub/Launchpadish but the actual repositories are hosted externally? Hell yeah. Has someone tried this already?

  Is it just me, or has github gotten a lot slower in the last couple of months? I haven't noticed it with `git clone git://github.com...`, but the website seems to be grinding to a halt.
