Thanks. Sounds like it'd be workable as a backup target then, but would probably suck being the primary place to grab source code.

That being said, maybe it would be ok as a primary location if there are more localised caches (eg lower response times) commonly available.

It's git - what do you need low-latency for? Download directories, trees, as the initial requests, then send a second request for the source code you want to download. Then the bottleneck is download speed instead of latency.

For just git, sure.

For a web application to present it (eg Gitea, GitLab, etc), then the lower latency would be helpful. ;)

eh, web applications are overrated. :)
