in You keep using that word “distributed”… on Virtuous Code
I completely agree. I'm trying to find out why people think they need GitHub when it's down for anything other than fresh public clones.

We've advertised our Disaster Recovery Guide (http://github.com/blog/175-github-disaster-guide) a few times, but I think not enough people know about it. You can still share and deploy GitHub-based repos when the site is down - that's one of the joys of distributed version control.

Thanks for posting the correction, Ara. I agree we should make our open source policy more clear.

For the record, a git-svn clone of the codeforpeople SVN repo currently available from Rubyforge is 47M.

and *none* of my work from noaa is there ;-) thus the rationale for my bait.
