Define "pure git-based merge requests". GitHub and Gitorious don't do anything you can't do in pure git; Gitorious tells you how to check out the branch and merge in commits, and GitHub requires little action on your part but under the hood just cherry-picks patches over for you (which does some ugly things to history, I might add). So I'm not sure what you mean by "pure git-based merge requests", as I don't think either of these would qualify. > What about github? > If they can support a git.kde.org a transition to something better (i.e. Free > (as in, speech)) can be almost painless. GitHub has a host-it-yourself-option. I think they call it github:fw or something, for "firewall", designed for organizations to put behind their firewall. I know that the licensing is massively expensive (>$1k/user), more so even than SourceForge/TeamForge, although it may or may not be shared source (I believe most of their code is Ruby, after all). Regardless, unless it's open-source and they donate millions of dollars worth of licenses to us, it's a no-go. --Jeff
