Should Google just kill it and suggest people move to GitHub?

Well - Google should offer a way to export your data that way people can easily move to another source code hosting service.

Preferably - it should be a one button click of "copy to github repo". Which would include conversion of SVN and Mercurial history to git.

That makes sense. That's what I'd want for my projects on Google Code if it got shut down.

Most google code projects don't use git.
