The UI at Assembla is awkward to work with. I participated in a project that used Assembla, and I kept getting a flood of emails attached to tasks and revisions that I didn't want to follow.
A similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago when I was looking for a way to add more repositories to a project. Luckily I got an answer quickly on their support forum (and yes, it was there).
So yes, the UI and information hierarchy is lacking, but ultimately it can do a lot of things.
(For future reference, you can change the settings under Stream - Email Notifications).
Assembla is not really a GIT hosting, it's project management with repos. You can use tickets, wiki, internal forum, GIT/Mercurial/SVN repos and some build/deploy tools.
Admittedly some of their tools have small problems, but the team is responsive and improves it steadily.
I've used one of their paid programs for everything we do (must be about two years by now) and I would recommend it.
Assembla doesn't seem to have that social aspect like Github, but I find their combination of tickets, wiki, forum and repos more useful.
