Github is maybe not perfect, but it requires *zero* maintenance. Does the INRIA team want to set up a git server, setup gitosis for managing users, etc, respond to someone when there is a problem. Github won. Let's get over it.

I'm not too happy with it. Pull requests turn into merges (ie.
non-linear history) which I particularly dislike.
But there are lots of git hosting places, including the option of
setting up git hosting at INRIA -- it's very easy to setup and
maintain.
That's not the point though. The point is that git is just *far
better* than SVN. And also (compared to other VCS), git won. Let's
get over it.
