I wonder how many people who use Github as part of their deployment work flow are impacted by outages like this. I know git is distributed, but I can imagine people with scripts that default to pulling from a github.com origin having to scramble to reconfigure.

This is exactly why we have an internal system which mirrors repos. We've never had our build/deploy process interrupted by GitHub outages because we always use the internal mirror.
