A couple of years back I was looking for somewhere to (privately) host my crazy home-made nonsense and chose gitlab. One of the first things I looked for when making my decision after looking at the license agreements was the ability to completely delete your files if you decide you don't want them up there any more. Gitlab seems to be quite nice. It "just works" so far for (very) simple SCM.

So if Microsoft is the Borg, and Google are Romulans, does that make Apple the Ferengi?
