Here's a use case for multiple instances on same server: an individual developer would like to publish his code to the world. He could create an account on github and put it there, and indeed that's what many people do almost by default.
But he might want to publish "his" code at "his" domain, with his own color scheme, branding etc. just like he might have a blog at that own domain, etc. This is not unlikely as many employers, for example, now Google their prospective hires and try to look at code they wrote. Chances are blogs etc. of individual are run on shared servers, and it would be nice if Gitorious could function in that environment. Scalability is not an issue because it's just the code of some single individual. Question: so if gitorious was set up to only speak http (not the git protocol), shouldn't that work?
