To be honest, It does go down for us sometimes too. Then there's always some problems on the internets in general that can get in the way. But on a whole, I don't think it's been inaccessable for more than a few hours two or three times in the last year or so. Does it seem more frequent for you? >> 1. Full history is saved in emails.

This is a super cool feature of github that e-mails cannot compare with. Even after you commit new patches to the branch the pull-req. is based on, github keeps all the old links, in-line comments, and complete history.

You also get e-mails on every in-line comment and they're all threaded properly. Every one includes a link that takes you right to the particular comment at the proper place in the request's history. It's quite handy. >> As github is not always stable in china.

I haven't heard anything about accessibility from them, but I also haven't heard many complaints. _______________________________________________ Virt-test-devel mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-test-devel
