 Hello,

 There is nothing in Git determining which repository is primary and, in
fact, there could be several "equally primary" repositories in principle,
it's just a question of convention. I.e. in SOCI case I think the primary
repository is the one mentioned on the web site, in the README and so on.

 FWIW I agree with the advantages of GitHub from this point of view. It's
definitely more popular than SF among people using Git in general, too.

 I don't have any particular problems with hosting the repository at SF but
I think GitHub would be even better. Notice that the web site could, of
course, remain on SF in any case.
