The git.haiku-os.org is a project of mine, obviously it is not
finished yet. The reason it is on hold is because I have to get in
touch with Travis (which I have not done until now), because I guess
there are already many check outs of the git tree and I want to see
whether it is possible to migrate it to our server (and whether Travis
wants to work with that) so that people don't have to do new check
outs.
As I said, the project is on hold right now.
As for advertising it, I would argue against that. It is currently as
experimental and unsupported as our Mercurial mirror, so in that sense
it should be under wraps from an official perspective. I would not
mind advertising (preferably both options) in a blog post though.
