Well said.  Along those lines, for those that would rather not use the
proprietary system that is GitHub, we've had good luck over the years
with SCM manager [1].  It's BSD licensed but quite polished and very
stable, and simple enough to get going on a VPS or similar.  Also has
native git / hg/ subversion support so you don't have to use one SCM
only.  Back the VPS up to another location on schedule, and data loss /
corruption should be mitigated.
