Long story short, I heard here and there that SF was considering to drop CVS support and I found GitHub service to be more responsive and elegant. Also, I was looking for an excuse to learn <a href="http://git-scm.com/">git</a> :)</p> <p>Anyway, GitHub interface may be sexy, they used to have some kind of &ldquo;upload&rdquo; section which <a href="https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads">has been dropped</a>. That may sound like a simple story, but the fact is when it comes to packaging a GitHub-hosted application, things are not that simple when the author has not explicitly tagged a specific release. Another use case, in which I actually am, is when you have an ongoing development, like <code>pkgin</code> in <a href="http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net/">pkgsrc WIP</a> and do not want to tag every test-release.</p>
