I'm about to kick off a new project that is going to be using Isis, with the resultant app also being licensed as open source. We'll probably be using github or similar for that. As a consequence of the project, there are likely to be a number of enhancements/fixes to Isis itself. I was thinking that if Isis is hosted on Git, then I can get the guy I'm working with sign an ICLA and thus be able to "git pull" in any changes he might make on his clone of Isis. > > Git is really nice for some use cases but not so nice for others.
