I'd say a better link is to the issue we marked 'fixed' :

http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=2454

Or to the project creation page:

We hope you like it.

I got an email alert on that issue and all it said was resolution changed to fixed, with no comment. I thought it could be a mistake so I went to code.google.com looking for some kind of announcement and found nothing, then finally found the create project page and saw the drop-down with git in it!

Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into it. I think many people don't realise how much work goes into something when you deploy it on a Google scale.

The team has done some good work and have indeed been working hard. They do appreciate the recognition for sure.

We talked about how we should break the news that we supported git. Marking the bug fixed was a good approach to it as then we knew those that cared enough to click on the little star on the issue would know, and that would be a pretty good start.

A few people noticed in the 1/2 hour or so between the launch and the issue change, so that was funny to watch. We'll do a formal post later. Right now we're mostly watching and seeing what happens so we can make sure the site is in good shape.

So....try it out and let us know how you like it.

How about linking Google code to Google+. Where projects have their own 'Project+' personality and what not. You could even have a 'downloads' like 'Photos' for all the people who don't seem to like GitHub (don't know why but ok).

I have tons of more suggestions... of course they will need to be validated :-P

Bring em on! Most of the work on the site is bringing some needed aspects to the fore, but the success of the + launch has spawned some really interesting ideas on how we can help users of the site share aspects of their projects to +.

Interesting. By forcing a new product name to be a recognized symbol, you remove all translation issues for the product name itself.

English? Google +. Italian? Google +.

Sneaky/clever.

The name "Google" itself doesn't get translated, either.

Done! http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=5569

Any chance of fixing this bug?

It's totally bizzare to get other people's Google Code traffic data in your Google Analytics.

So does the backend use Java Git, or some specialized version of C git?

Neither: Dulwich.

http://code.google.com/u/dborowitz@google.com/ - wow, neat to see dulwich in use for such a big project.

Why only those two alternatives?

I imagine they may just be the only two that the poster knows about. It's not like it's a radio button poll, though. It's enough to spawn a discussion. Someone that knows can respond in free-form.

They are most likely, but I suppose anything is possible.
