For more than a month now there has been an unresolved open issue that is breaking the ability of many, many projects to push code to Google Code hosting:
http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=28389 The issue, in essence, is that large chunks of data coming in via git and hg push (possible also svn?) result in 502 errors, and the push fails. Looking back into Google Code support history, it seems that this issue has happened from time to time and has been resolved. But it's back again. I must say that I'm astounded and disappointed by the lack of attention this open wound has been getting. There should be warnings plastered everywhere on Google Code about this, and constant communication with the developer community in the blogs, twitters, google-pluses, and of course in the issue page itself. You've let it up to us devs to debug things on our end and search hard to find out that it's your fault, not ours, and that you've known about it for more than a month. We want to spend time writing good code, not rediscovering information that's already known. Google Code team: you are dealing with this terribly and it won't be long before this escalates into a PR disaster, with projects leaving you in hordes. I really hope someone on the team gets some sense, takes charge and deals with this professionally. I love Google Code's features and would not want to move my many projects to GitHub, but patience is running thin and soon there will be no choice. I'm saying this with love: I hate to see something good go down the drain due to poor leadership.
