What is a bit strange is that its fork Gna!, which also uses Savane, does not have Git support. This is because Savannah runs "cleanup" branch of Savane while Gna! runs plain (?) Savane; see http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndToolsWishlist#Savane Alioth (Debian related projects hosting only) uses modified GForge engine, which in turn is some fork of SourceForge engine, also has git support. Not that it helps much in adding Git support to SourceForge, as both Savane and GForge are GPL, and IIRC SF.net engine is now closed-source. > However, git works fine over http.

Nice solution, can be used in with any software hosting (BerliOS or Sarovar for example) which provides rsync or other way of syncing. > The downside is that SF will not collect statistics on the git repo. > However, I've been using ohloh.net to track it instead, which works > wonderfully. You can use GitStat in the same way as you provide Git repository, http://tree.celinuxforum.org/gitstat/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/gitstat/ http://www.ohloh.net/projects/8207?p=gitstat but Ohloh have quite a nice features. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
