for updated-infrequently-if-ever repos, github's pricing doesn't make a lot of sense. i have plenty of small, one-off repos i'd love to back up on github but it doesn't make sense for me to upgrade plans for them.
i just back up to multiple boxes, but i can understand why someone would want something centralized and specific.
I agree. My small company has many 1-2 week dev efforts that we'd like to have on GitHub but simply can't afford it. I've tried creating a "small project" repository and using different branches to host the different projects but am definitely not satisified. GitHub NEEDS a size-limited hosting plan.
