In no particular order: * merge proposals / code review. Mailing lists suck for this. And these webby tools usually support email based workflow as well (to some degree) * no approval required to create/fork projects, teams, source trees (there are namespaces) * syntax highlighted or rendered code browsing * familiar user interface / concepts for most developers * no arbitrary hooks, no direct file access to repositories, no repository maintainance for repository owner. (These are all good things) * restful API triggers to update things instead We are at the tipping point were more of active developers used git and e.g. github; than svn and source forge monsters. My first VCS was git & repo.cz later quickly gitorious & github. Regards, Dimitri.
