Good point

>> * How many people contribute to one, and what hosting service do they
>> use and what is the experience, is performance consistent and better
>> than Sourceforge SVN, all around the world?

> In Singapore and Malaysia, gitorious.org and github.com have been
> extremely stable and fast, unlike sourceforge.net.

>> * And does anyone have experience using any other DVCS and hosting
>> service that would make them recommend it, or recommend against it?

> branching).
