Well one problem is that managing it will be a pain if we have lots of
projects as an admin will have to create the repos and things.
The git security model also makes it a pain because it's OS security
based so would mean adding lots of system users and creating some
complicated system of group ownership to control who owned each repo.
To do it on any non-trivial scale we would probably have to use
something like a local install of gitorious.
