When I first set up a git repo, it was my own read-only one: http://git.nex-3.com/arc.git. Shortly before I announced it, though, ambition had set up the original Subversion version of the wiki. Since that seemed like a cool idea, I set up a parallel Git wiki.
Eventually, I just stopped pulling into my repo. The wiki pretty much had everything I wanted, and more or less nothing I didn't.
However, I could definitely see other folks creating their own repos if they want to do some major experimentation (although using a branch of the wiki might work just as well). In particular, I totally agree that it would be awesome if PG would expose his changes as Git commits, if just to make the arcn.tar merging process easier.
Well the real nice part would be PG himself using git and doing diffs against other repos to see what's festering in the community.
Right now the forum seems to be the only what of contributing patches to arc and this seems ripe for having things lost. (And who wants to bring up the same patch twice if it went unnoticed the first time).
Well, taking arcn.tar and merging it isn't that hard - I did it for arc1 and will probably continue to do so. It would just be nice if we could have more granular official patches.
