I just want to point out, for those who do not know git, that it isn't necessary to use github to use git. By using git-svn ( the "git svn" command) you can directly track the Google svn repo. Some may prefer using the github repo and some (like I do) may prefer to track the Google svn repo. Github is really handy for teams that primarily collaborate using git, but here it seems that most of the collaboration is via svn or bzr.
