WHen I google "git hosting", the first hit is git.kernel.org, then two stack overflow posts, then Gitorious, then GitHub. I wonder what my account contains that makes Google think Gitorious is more important to me.

Congrats to the Github team for this. I'd say it's a pretty huge endorsement, regardless of whether Linus intended it that way or not.
Well, let's wait to see Linus's comments on how he feels about it. If he's unhappy, he'll write about it in public, scathing remarks.
The question is which platform would Linus use for a web front end?

I'd just like to add that a search for "git hosting" on DDG ("duckgoing" if you will) yields, aside from the SO quick info box (which mentions Gitorious and Redmine), unfuddle.com is the first result, github doesn't show up until the fourth of fifth, and I haven't scrolled down to look for Gitorious. It does, however, show http://git-scm.com/tools as the second result, which includes a summary of the most popular hos…

I have 94 megabytes of git repositories at work. Github would want $100/month to host that. Huh? My $7/month plan comes with 600+MB of storage, and my job's $50/month plan comes with 6GB. Where are you getting these numbers?
Disk space is a soft limit. Hard limits are repos. I find it hard to beleive your company can't spend $100 on offloading to a managed resource such as GitHub.
Oh, we can. We just haven't needed to yet.

Why github Linus? "[...] it was just the first one that came up when I googled for "git hosting". I've not tried any of the hosting places before, so it was a random choice." (I don't know how to link a comment in google+, it's in https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/PVZDD2N3... )
You can link to comments, but you have to go source-diving for the containing div's ID; it doesn't appear to be exposed in the interface anywhere: https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/PVZDD2N3... Edit: I take it back. It's completely screwed. There's a # in the ID, and it though it works when you add the fragment to the URL in the address bar while you're viewing the page, visiting the link afresh make…

It also accounts for the height of the gbar and googleplus navbar, since linking directly to the anchor tag puts the comment directly at the top of the page, behind both of those fixed elements.

Poor Linus will probably be flooded with patches and pull requests for every commit he makes. On the other hand, he might very well spark some interesting things just by committing small stubs of his ideas.
And it has begun... https://github.com/arkx/diveclog/commit/c800d93a83f18b1c2b18...
I just can't see the downside. He didn't want to merge it due to the lack of signed-off-by, but at least he knows there's a typo there now and can fix it or let it be if it doesn't bother him.
(For the record, this was not the first typo fix contributed, see https://github.com/torvalds/diveclog/pull/2 for something he already pulled in.)

Which is why they charge insanely exorbitant prices for simple git hosting.
Their interface is not 'simple'. They don't sell 'simple git hosting'. That's making the same mistake that people make when they think they can code Reddit in a weekend.

$7/mo is exorbitant? Even the biggest plan at $200 is essentially nothing for a small company. I have my complaints about github, but "exorbitant" isn't even close. They're a bargain.
