Git is a DISTRIBUTED source code management system, it does not
really live on one server. Technically, your and everybody else's
local copy contains everything. You can move it around at will.
The github functionality on top of that *is* restricted to their
site, although there are pretty good clones.
I would not fear for a lock in.
As long as we are agile, i.e. have the ability to switch to a new
platform at reasonable cost, then I'm not worried.
The Github choice is about exposure.

I agree with you. Github should definitely not be the unique place
for code. But we should be able to have code there at a low cost.

+1 Github may be hip today but can be outdated in a few years. If
Smalltalk would have chosen a version management technology that
was en vogue in the 80s where would it be now? Does anybody even
remember one of those from then? Having nice github integration
(or whatever might be the technology of the day) is one thing,
completely relying on it is something different.
