If github didn't already provide a solution that works 95% of the time |
| 11 |
I'd consider it more of a need. |

| 13 |
And while a lot of people have issues with github, IMO this one part |
| 14 |
of github is largely FOSS (they're just using git archive here). |
| 15 |
Simply serving up git and git archive tarballs is something that could |
| 16 |
be easily moved to another hosting provider if somebody stepped up to |
| 17 |
offer the service. If somebody were offering to build a homegrown |
| 18 |
solution that would probably be fine, but I'm not really seeing |
| 19 |
that... |
