The main downside to using github would be that you don't get a |
| 8 |
combined history pre/post-migration, but it certainly works. Github |
| 9 |
doesn't work with git replace. I'm not sure if anongit does or if it |
| 10 |
has a useful API like this. I think you can push git replace |
| 11 |
references, but whether the web viewer ignores them or not is another |
| 12 |
matter. They aren't cloned by default I believe (which makes sense |
| 13 |
since they're references - an explicit fetch does work). |

Somebody could create one big combined repo without using git replace, |
| 16 |
but the hashes won't match and that sounds like a recipe for mass |
| 17 |
confusion. You couldn't directly sync it via pull/push either, since |
| 18 |
the hashes will never match. |
