Hi Christian

We haven't made a final decision on which git host to use. We thought  
github was faster, and had a more polished web interface. But there  
were a couple of important things that it didn't appear to support:

  - multiple administrators
  - commit emails

Also, the url would include the username, e.g.  
https://github.com/obo/mosesdecoder, which isn't really what we want,

cheers - Barry
