what's the best open source alternative to git hub? (no, I don't want to host my code on third party servers)

the best I've used so far is trac, but their git support were flaky when I last tested it (only ran well with svn at the time)

I've been happily using Gitosis for quite a while now. It's like Github without the web interface (so it manages central repositories and user authentication).

I recall it took a bit of finagling to set it up, but I haven't had a single issue with it since. It's also cool that the configuration files are stored in a Git repository (once you try it, it will be clear how that works).
