Here's a mirror I set up for those interested in forking/watching it
from GitHub:
http://github.com/avar/morbo
It'll probably be taken down in lieu of a more official mirror soon-ish.

If you need some admin help with it you know who to call :)

*nod*, but on the other hand we're offering free hosting services for
SVN now, it would be neat to eventually have a hosting plan if those
projects want to move to Git (or if we decide to mandate it because we
don't want to host SVN anymore).
Wherever the "master" repos are hosted it would be nice to set up a
project-wide mirror for all the osm Git stuff on GitHub, simiral to
e.g. http://github.com/apache and http://github.com/facebook.
