Hi,
I'd like to be able to fork/clone a remote repository that is not hosted on the gitorious instance I'm currently using. Technically, the most easy implementation is to give the user a "Remote git URL" text field which he can fill. Upon creating the local repository, the data are cloned from the given remote url. Very nifty would be if the user didn't have to know the Git URL at all, but only the homepage of the project he wants to fork. The homepage (HTML) would contain a <link> to the project's DOAP[1] description. The DOAP description itself contains the link to the git repository, which would be cloned. Using the DOAP file would even allow gitorious to fill the name and description fields. By supporting remote repository forking, gitorious would even more support the federated internet.
