Wouldn't it be a worthy goal to exclude git repos from the rsync 
mirroring and use git instead?  The current arrangement doesn't put git 
in good light for the general public not reading this mailing list wrt 
git reliability, even if we know it is just a minor and temporary 
annoyance.

A failure always makes you look bad regardless of its severity.
