(Apologies for switching repo.or.cz to it and Thus, you should be able to easily deploy a local Girocco instance at your site and configure it to do only what you want. Girocco allows both full push-based project hosting, or just mirroring and showing existing projects (either local or remote) – i.e. you can also use it just to collect scattered repositories of your developers and present them all at single place. The push-based hosting offers currently two models, chroot hosting and hooks-based permissions (for trusted environments) – it should be easy to add other models.<\/p>\n This way, Girocco might present an interesting alternative to Gitorious for people who prefer mirroring over full project hosting, prefer then rawer gitweb interface ;-), like the repo.or.cz simple forking model or want to make use of the GitHub-like flexible commit notifications mechanism.<\/p>\n (If you are actually going to deploy Girocco somewhere, it’s good to tell me so that I can take it into account to e.g. provide upgrade paths for future Girocco changes.)<\/p>\n If you are used to repo.or.cz, what’s new in Girocco at the user’s end?<\/p>\n
