> Due to git's distributed nature, there should be very few people who are not able to work on their code. Oh the irony! Actually I bet many developers are sitting on their hands when they can't access github. I don't want to dump on github. It has been a great driver of open-source software. But by making itself a single-point-of-... so much, it kind of defeats the purpose of git sometimes. Ideally we'd be able to download not just the repo but all the meta-info; issues, comments, pull requests, etc.
