SourceForge now supports git
February 19th, 2009
Finally. About time – this has been requested several times since 2006 or so.
The announcement: Git now available for SF.net hosted projects.
Interestingly, the features page mentions that there is no quota. In that sense, SourceForge seems to be better off than other git services that have a “soft” quota (repo.or.cz has 100 MB for example).
Some pros/cons:
- The write access permissions must be explicitly granted, which is quite different from how Gitorious works.
- There is no mirror mode (what repo.or.cz has) – you can only push to the repo.
