It's *very* early days to be dismissing git entirely. We don't have
auths fixed up yet, and I contend that that's because the people who
have sudo on the git machine are unwilling to create git-shell
accounts for people who need them.
If I get sudo access, I'll be delighted to do that stuff.
There's another issue people seem to keep trying to sneak into this
discussion, which is creating a high-value target for attackers, aka
single sign-on.
We really need to have a separate discussion of single sign-on and not
hold up every infrastructure project while waiting for a feature that
it is far from clear that we should even have in the first place.
Cheers,
David.
