I'm not the biggest github fan either.  I think its OK but it was
expecting a lot more given all of the fan fair.  I do like working with
git.  I've been using it exclusively for my Eeschema refactor work.  Has
anyone tried using the git support on launchpad yet?  I haven't had time
to mess around with it.  I know it's still a beta version but it might
be worth a look.  It could be a low pain option as long as the launchpad
devs get all the bug tracker and merge request support working with git.
 It may be worth trying to get an idea of when the LP devs plan to have
this done.  If it's within the next year, it may be worth waiting rather
than jumping ship.
