GitHub is a software repository powered by Git. Does not seem to have any site issues, often 24 hours uptime (see site status). Looks pretty sunny at the moment, but when disaster strikes it would be a problem archiving the private repositories.

As of 16th November 2011: 1,122,240 people hosting over 3,197,699 git repositories. 523785 public repositories are forks, which greatly reduces the amount of data required to archive it.
