fatal: unable to connect to git.code.sf.net:

The Blog page says:

The sourceforge.net website is temporarily in static offline mode.
Only a very limited set of project pages are available until the main website returns to service.

Should we set up an official secondary repo, or at least public
mirrors of all our (the developers') repositories? Eg, either a
cvs-like repository like the sourceforge one is, or everyone just has
their own repos somewhere. Or both would be fine too. (Mine is
available at http://cgit.mika.l3ib.org/cgit/zsh-cvs/ for example).
There's also this automatic readonly mirror of the sourceforge repo,
http://repo.or.cz/w/zsh/mirror.git

thank you for the URL's.  as of Sat Jul 18 13:33:11 2015 PST, the
working URL's for these sites are:

git://repo.or.cz/zsh/mirror.git
git://git.mika.l3ib.org/zsh-cvs

There's another automatic mirror at https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh.
git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh.git works, too, despite not being
advertised. (My own repo at Github is just a fork of that:
https://github.com/xtaran/zsh, usually less uptodate.)

P.S.: SF still down, and SCM will be last (but git will be the first
SCM to be restored), see https://twitter.com/sfnet_ops and
https://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-infrastructure-and-service-restoration/

		Kind regards, Axel

It's tricky to have a second repository to push commits to.  For
example, there is the split-brain problem: what to do if the two master
repositories diverge, and the changes made to one conflict with the
changes made to the other?

Then there is authentication, glue code to keep the two masters in sync,
and so on.

Cheers,

Daniel
