One of the nice things about Git in general is that updating multiple locations is relatively simple. I don't think having both locations is an issue at all.

I agree with everything Paul said here, except the repo bit. I'm not sure why both Adiscon git and Github would be needed..... maybe there is some technical reason or business reason? Would having both create some code sync issues? Don't know enough about Git here to comment, but one thing to consider is user (contributor/developer) confusion - which one should they clone, work off of, etc.? But if you think this is not a real problem, then ignore me please.
