Just to make a very clear statement: This does nothing to my resolve to stick with GitHub. I'll just push a little later, whenever the next DDoS comes around.
Finally! I was waiting to see what your opinion on this topic was, so that I knew what my opinion should be! :P
Stop downvoting this person. I deserved that.
The downvote isn't whether the comment was warranted but rather that it didn't add value to the conversation.
Well, mine didn't contribute much either - and I didn't want to pass up a chance to make light of that.
This should be a non-issue for git since you can just pull from the other members of your team, but in reality few people are setup to allow others to do this.
Would be neat if their Github desktop apps would set this up p2p automatically.
Yep, good idea, they could take Organizations you are a member of and provide remotes for each person in that org for you.
That's fine if you only use github solely for its git service. If you use issues or gists or handling others' pull requests, you are SOL if github is down. (technically you can clone all of your gists but its a painstaking process)
