@rysiek @dashie Well, we also seem to be putting several eggs in the GitLab basket, and larger projects host their own GitLab instance.

@rysiek @dashie When it comes to git hosting, every developer still has a full copy of the history. There's minimal risk of lock-in.

Bug trackers are another story... do GitHub and GitLab let you export all bugs with comments?

@codewiz @dashie There is some talk about federated issues on Gitlab: gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-c

GitHub on the other hand clearly focuses in locking you in. If not with git history, then with issues, pull requests, wikis, and all the rest.
