There is a slight misperception here.  I setup the git mirror at
GitHub as part of my git-scm.com work, they did not do it as some sort
of semi-official mirror.  The reason the git.git repo points to
git-scm is because I had plans to use github apis to do some fun stuff
on git-scm, and the mirror is being kept up to date by scripts on the
git-scm server.  Also, I figured it was likely that people looking at
the git repo on GitHub rather than on kernel.org would probably be
more interested in the more user-friendly version, yes?  That's all,
it's nothing sinister. Petr and I have previously discussed trying to
unify the sites somehow and will likely discuss this in more detail at
the GitTogether in a few weeks.

Also, trust me - none of us want Junio's job.  I've talked way too
much with Shawn over the last few weeks to ever covet that position :)

I do wish that there wasn't this 'us vs them' mentality on this list,
though. I think GitHub is doing some good things for the community,
and I also think that 'the community' is bigger than this list.  I
propose that we spend our cycles on git stuff, rather than mocking or
trying to exclude each other.

Also, I think we can all agree that Junio is strikingly handsome.
