I forgot. There's one other thing I wanted to point out about
phabricator. To properly use it, you must have php installed wherever
you are working from. I like that it uses PHP on the server side, but
despise that it uses it on the client side.

I also have a few questions:

* Who's going to get stuck with maintaining the LDAP support?
* Does it already integrate with Jenkins?
* Does it use the system SSH, or a separate SSH daemon?
* What permissions model does it have?
* Does it manage the repositories and branches?
* How are repos created?
* Does it support server side branches?
* Does it handle merges automatically?
