Where is this "1 collaborator limit"? GitHub has unlimited collaborators on all repositories, private or public.

there used to be a limit to the number of collaborators, but it was lifted a few months ago.

Cool! I never noticed.

Cool. Let me know when it's up. ;) Will it have Atlassian related designs? Or Git/Hg/etc. related ones?

We will have Bitbucket t-shits, Spooning t-shirts (https://bitbucket.org/spooning/) and other Atlassian gear.

We will make a posting on our blog about it.

> I always thought it was some crappy bug reporting product. Hah. Got you, it's also a crappy project-hosting product, a crappy code-hosting product, a crappy code review product and a crappy FQA/Q&A product. And an acceptable translation product (not as good as Transifex, but it's free, bit it requires using the rest of that crap).

I've always liked the bug-tracker. It's much more user-friendly than bugzilla IMO, and it handles bugs that affect multiple projects really well, even when the other projects use other bug trackers.

That's a pretty low bar to set though.

> and it handles bugs that affect multiple projects really well

Kind-of, changing the project set (outside of adding projects to an existing bug) might be impossible (same with in-project "series" — its code for branches), until fairly recently the role of some statuses was very unclear (and I'm still not entirely sure of their actual use), one of the links is essentially useless and — as everywhere else in launchpad — text formatting is completely non-existent (without even talking about richer data sets, such as adding screenshots to bug reports which falls under "add attachment or patch").

Multi-project and multi-branch tracking are nice, but they're limited and they don't make the tracker much friendlier.

Yesterday I switched to Bitbucket after using Github for about a year.

Bitbucket is absolutely brilliant.

It's a really clean interface and the free private repos suit me perfectly.

Thanks for your work - a new customer here.

Only thing I'd add is the last commit details on folder names.

Do you think it's more or less likely to get hacked than private repositories on github (which are already trusted by many companies)? Before you answer, consider http://www.extremetech.com/computing/120981-github-hacked-mi...

The crown jewels should always be kept under lock and key! A couple of years ago I was at one of the Github drink meetups. I asked if they were working on encrypted private repos (this was just before or around the time Github Firewall was introduced). A Github employee told me no… before adding that in his opinion source code was not valuable. I asked him to clarify and he said imagine if Twitter had their source co…

I think there's a lot of truth in this attitude, I sometimes think 'if someone can take our code without all our knowledge and do something useful with it better than we can, then they deserve to win', having said that, I also strongly suggest that it would be bad for GitHubs business for it to be widely known that they have this attitude...

For a while I was a bit worried that GitHub had just ran away with the prize and no one else was bothering. It is pretty obvious that Google isn't interested in improving Google Code and that Sourceforge hasn't aged a day (that's not really fair, but it feels like it). I think there is still a chance for BitBucket to make a splash, but I think its going to be hard to win anymore. That's fine, 2nd place makes a lot of…

Bitbucket had a pretty easy time of winning my business: free private repositories for small teams is a great way to draw people in.

Same here.

Bitbucket for opensource things Stash for our firm's repos behind the firewall.

And i have been using github for years, paid account, like others. Paid github vs Atlassian Stash ? Stash wins.

It looks just like it. If GitHub were Apple, they would be preparing a lawsuit over trade dress claims right about now...

Yeah I can imagine the patent infringement: "a web interface for source version control" -.-

That's the joke. ;-)
