Its possible there's simply a delay. But here's another theory: What if google's policy is to *not ever* index personal github repos, on the theory it is too much, too fleeting, and that a personal repo is often a fork of a project repo? Then you will wait forever. There are about 2 million repos on github. Isn't a "project" repo, on the other hand, one that is registered with github as a project? I am wondering if they only index project repos as a policy decision.
