Plus, the pull request system of BitBucket/GitHub/Gitorious creates merge commits on every pull request, which we'd like to avoid.
I'm asking with regards to hosting haiku-depot-web and HaikuPorts ourselves. These projects don't have 50,000 tags. Are merge commits a problem for HaikuPorts?
And AFAIK there has been no "official" announcement since downloads were deprecated, but everyone who's using Google Code has been holding their breath...
Even if you are right, that problem can be solved by moving haiku-depot-web to GitHub (for example).
I am asking why we need to change anything. "Because its centralized" is not a reason I find convincing just by itself.
