Would it be possible for you to get push access to cl.net, rather than 
having the rest of us start following a different repository?

I understand Zach's post recommending Github; but unfortunately Github 
encourages a fractured community, leading to messages like yours (hey 
everybody, look over here) and almost caracitured by Cyrus.

Installing gitolite on cl.net would make git hosting much easier for end 
users to manage.  Keeping everything in one place, where trusted admins 
can add and remove users, should be more conducive to community 
development.

Imagine if SBCL changed repositories or even websites depending on whether 
Christophe or Juho was rolling the release...  Stability and 
predictability are virtues.
