+Just to record for myself link to `the awesome discussion about
+deficiencies of github`_. I have been tempted lately to the sweet
+proprietary arms of github lately (yes, their cheap commenting threads
+are a killer feature and as awesome as cheap branches in git itself). It
+also leads to `the very nice blogpost on git commit messages`_.
+
+It is unfortunately very rare to get a good comparison between GitHub
+and gitweb+git based on their technical merit, so the proprietary nature
+of github then stands as the only problem of github.
+
+I should also take a longer look at ``git request-pull (1)``. Apparently
+its documentation is its weakest part (see `example result`_ and
+`Linus’s comment on what consitutes a good pull request`_).
