There are a few repositories that the maintainer currently pushes to, and those are the most reliable ones to use if you want the latest git vanilla. Other than that, there's going to be no difference from the next git.git clone. It might remove some confusion if these repos would be reflected on websites focusing on git as they are in the maintainers notes, but that's probably up to the respective webmasters then. Frans
