  Thanks very much. I will try this.

  Okay. Thanks. I hope to understand it better when I do it  myself. 
 
  I am looking to create a git repo outside USA/Canada for to serve a
whole bunch of people downstream.

 I do not expect users/students/teachers to have great connectivity, 
Disconnected operation is important for me/my users.

 I believe if students start tracking OpenBSD current and keep
recompiling OpenBSD nightly, they will feel pumped and probably do more
coding, look around the various parts of it, and then I will be able to
reach out to a whole set of graduates who will become proficient C
programmers, using 1 UNIX-like OS (OpenBSD here). Better still, they are
programming on a solid production grade OS.

 I am seeing that effect on myself and my intern. :-)

 You always end up liking something if you have built/assembled it or
have been a part of building it. I recently came to know that is called
the IKEA Effect [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_effect].
 
 I think OpenBSD, git, a git hosting server(TBD) and VirtualBox will be
good combination.

 Thanks again for your help. 

Regards,
Dinesh
