David and Allen, I suppose we should ask the wider community, so I am including board@ in the distribution list.
For those of you who are new to this topic, we have been "experimenting/trying a move to" github from svn. However, after having used it for sometime, I have started to find some problems with github and it now looks to me that bitbucket.org is a better option than github. The reasons are: 1. It uses OpenID for web interface login. 2. It allows the use of https logins through proxies so it can be accessed through corporate firewalls etc. as well. (It is extremely difficult to do this for github -- it can be done, but it probably is beyond many people because you need to build a tunnel through the proxy.) 3. It allows CNAMEs when paid US$5 a month, so that it could be accessed as openid.net., e.g., http://specs.openid.net/ax/ -> http://bitbucket.org/openid/ax/ This is kind of vanity thing, but is important to establish the "authenticity" of the repository to the public. For our use, I have secured account "openid" at bitbucket. What would you think? =nat On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 5:56 PM, Nat <[email protected]> wrote: > One problem that I found about github is that it is very difficult to > configure it to work with corporate proxies.
