but then again, _wip_ does use "git", so what's the problem with using "git"
across the board?
for a project which is as financially constrained as "netbsd", it would make "a lot
of sense" to out-source as much of the infrastructure to free services as possible.
also, as i'd written in previously, if countries are going to ban access to "github" because of some reason, there's no
guarantee that they would not also ban access to "netbsd" repositories, even if they are using 'cvs' or "hg",
and if github is being compelled to ban access to certain countries due to US government regulations, those same regulations
would apply to the "netbsd foundation" too and hence lead to enactment of bans from certain countries by the foundation
to "netbsd" repositories.
i wonder where the actual problem is, but something does smell fishy.
By the way. When it comes to outsourcing the software repository, I can
really sum up my objections in just one word:
TANSTAAFL.
Anyone who thinks something else is simply deluding themselves.
