If we can have a packaged version of git on dev.open-bio.org from the
Linux distro, that would be easiest (especially for keeping it up to date).

For Biopython we plan to use github (initially at least) for committing
changes. This will also allow anonymous access.

A public OBF read only mirror of a git repository is still useful for people to
clone from, and keep the local copy up to date - plus as a backup for
if/when github is congested or unavailable. But not essential.
