Thanks, useful link. Maybe we should start a tiny wiki page like that,  
too.

Regarding "multi repository support" on SF.net, read this:

[20:55] <burley-sf>fingolfin: Here's the skinny
[20:55] <burley-sf>with no timeline
[20:56] <burley-sf>if you want to use bzr, bzr is setup to support  
multiple branches in a repo
[20:56] <Fingolfin>hi david :)
[20:56] <burley-sf>and that's pretty similar to what you would want  
for any of the other DVCS's
[20:56] <burley-sf>but, I really think bzr sucks, as does their  
nomenclature
[20:56] <burley-sf>anyways
[20:56] <burley-sf>Internally, we want to support multiple  
repositories for projects
[20:57] <burley-sf>its likely going to happen
[20:57] <burley-sf>I can nearly guarantee it
[20:57] <burley-sf>but its a very new conversation internally
[20:57] <burley-sf>and we have no timeline set for it, nor any  
discussion of how to implement it


Since it was not yet there already, I submitted this to the SF.net  
IdeaTorrent. Everybody, please vote this up!

(BTW, searching for an existing similar item lead to this bug report  
by me ;) <https://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/sourceforge/ticket/1211>)

While you are at it, please consider voting up this one, too, it  
requests adding ReviewBoard to the HosteApps, a cool tool for  
reviewing commits / general code review:
  <https://apps.sourceforge.net/ideatorrent/sourceforge/ideatorrent/idea/3/

And also this one, which requests importing data to hosted apps (such  
as forums, wikis, bug trackers... you get the idea ;):
