First of all, thanks for this!

Couple of notes though:
- I haven't seen the link to the script that does the mirroring I guess
that is kept somewhere right? :) Making it public so that others (after
being installed in git.gnome.org of course) can add their own choice (why
not a launchpad one? or gitorious as others pointed out...) would be nice.

- is *all* GNOME modules going to be there (setting aside the opt-in/out
being discussed)? I don't see damned-lies for example

All in all, the more GNOME is spread the better, and at the end of the day,
a mirror is a mirror, nothing without the source it mirrors.

Cheers,
Gil
