First website to come to mind is github.com; there are also other git sites. Is there any git for DOS? I never even thought to look. I have also never seen any hint of cvs, svn or hg for DOS. You mention a 2.88 MB floppy image of an old DOS distro by Rugxulo. You would need to include instructions on how to boot such an image with grub4dos or Grub 2. Most computer users don't have floppy drives any more. I did manage to boot a 40 MB NetBSD floppy boot image with grub4dos, using a fictitious cylinder-heads-sectors geometry. I of course needed to use -a paremeter to make NetBSD ask for the root drive. I think it might be possible to boot such an image with Syslinux using memdisk.
