Because both savannah and github support git, therefore, whatever
supported by git is available in both sites.

If you look at the table that referred in the first email, you see
that github has two additional features "Personal branch" "Private
branch". I think that this is related with the web interface rather
than with git. Practically, I'm familiar with github.

I am sure that there should be ways to sync multiple repositories
automatically. For example, I should be able to pull whatever new
development from savannah to github, and submit pull request from
github to savannah. But I don't know exact how to do it.

If these problem can be solved, then it is not necessary to migrate
from savannah to git. Does anybody who are more experienced with git
give some guideline work flow with working commands? Thanks!
