I for one am happy with the distributed property of git. It gives me 
the confidence that no matter what happens to the main server, no 
major part will be lost. Even if the maintainers lost their faith in 
geda and shut down the server without warning, I could easily set-up a 
functional replacement myself. For a software I rely on for my daily 
work, this is a reassuring notion.
