sourceforge or github

Hay /prog/

I've got a software project that I'd like host somewhere. The versioning system is git, and I'd like to know if there's some kind of advantage in using sourceforge instead of github or vice versa.

Git also runs on Windows. There are two variants:
[list][*]A native Microsoft Windows port, called msysgit (using MSYS from MinGW), is approaching completion. There are downloadable installers ready for testing (under the names "Git" and "msysgit", where "Git" is aimed for users). While somewhat slower than the Linux version, it is acceptably fast and is reported to be usable in production, with only minor awkwardness. In particular, some commands are not yet available from the GUIs, and must be invoked from the command line.
[*] Git also runs on top of Cygwin (a POSIX emulation layer), although it is noticeably slower, especially for commands written as shell scripts. This is primarily due to the high cost of the fork emulation performed by Cygwin. However, the recent rewriting of many Git commands implemented as shell scripts in C has resulted in significant speed improvements on Windows. Regardless, many people find a Cygwin installation too large and invasive for typical Windows use.[/list]
