The same savings can be achieved by:

- Hosting the repository locally in the office;
- Automatically updating the 'official' location whenever something is
  pushed to the local repository;
- Having all developers use the office repository as their remote.

Takes about five minutes to set up.

(That does not invalidate your overall arguments, of course, but I
don't have time to address them in much detail.)
