I submit not having a proper DVCS is part of the problem for
this.  The reason github is so successful is because it is so
easy to upload code and then to collaborate, get bug fixes
etc.  While some incomplete code in one's own src tree may not
get looked at for a long time and ultimately may never see the
light of the day. Github should use the slogan "it doesn't
/have/ to be ready for the world to see!".
