And this is why I use Google Code: supports git and is more reliable than Github. It's a shame that they don't offer a paid service for closed-source software.

Were there any issues with Github prior to this? I don't recall any aws-like pattern. But I might have just missed it.

Github is awesome, but yeah, they've been having lots of outages for a while now. A deploy based on a git fetch && git reset from Github might not be a good thing.

A few. They lost a server about 10 days ago which took down a few repos including some gists. All in its been very stable.
