Note that while the repository itself is fully available in every 
local copy, github adds some informations such as comments 
or issue tracking that are *not* distributed.

I believe I have read somewhere that these informations are accessible 
via a public api, and that somebody had wrote a tool to backup  
them, but I don't have a link handy.

Would something like gitorious qualify as convenient like github, but 
more freedom-friendly?
