The obvious answer is that having one mirror to point people at is better than letting them wonder amongst a forest of dozens of mirrors. On the other hand, maybe Git users prefer the latter scenario. A number of people have asked for an official Git mirror, though. If no one wants this anymore, then by all means let's forget about it.
