Ugh, but you then get branches that span everything under testingground
(right?).

I think we should have git-daemon available for people to put stuff in
their home directories on www.gnome.org.  This is *not* the same as
moving all of svn.gnome.org to Git (which is a major project that needs
to be done very carefully).

Does anyone have experience setting up git-daemon?
