what forces you or anyone to use github.
Git doesn't need it. works locally.
remote repository could be over nfs, ssh, ftp or whatever you like.
this is a problem only for people so lazy that are unable to setup remote
repository. or because "project manager" decided to use github
of course microsoft bought it to steal software more efficiently.

being plain ASCII can be edited directly if necessary (and I have).
I've been looking at BitKeeper, for example, the author of which (Larry
McEvoy) I happen to know from another mailing list. Apparently, converting
from Git is as simple as: "git fast-export | bk fast-import".
And no, before some here accuse me of being a shill for BK, I have nothing to
do with the product whatsoever, other than as someone looking for an
alternative to something now owned by M$ (and I've used just about everything
since SCCS).
