Github's support for Enterprise is atrocious at best.

But we still pay for it, because what else is there? :)

(Which now supports Git: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2011/10/03/bitbucket-now-rocks-git...)

There's also Kiln: http://www.fogcreek.com/kiln/

Having used both github and some Atlassian products (though, to be fair, not Stash), my instinctive reaction is: No. No. No, No, No. No, No. No.

That might be wrong, but I'd need to see a lot of evidence first.

I can't recommend any Atlassian products. They removed the markup editor from their wiki product; their sole remaining choice -- the rich text editor -- its a piece of shit that is actively hostile to any dev stuck using it. They're doing it to, in effect, crap on developers in order to prefer people who won't use a markup language [1]. It sucks beyond belief for entering code or tables, and is the usual very annoyingly broken rich text experience: tab and enter don't do what you think they will and aren't consistent; they make chrome freeze regularly; and you can't really use it without repeatedly taking your hands of the keyboard to touch a mouse. Just awful.

Self hosted git using gitolite. But you won't get all that Jazz GUI/Web stuff.

You have to put a lot more on top of that: gitweb, authentication, authorisation, notifications, maybe other kinds of hooks. Granted gitolite supports it, but you have to write a bit of glue.

There's also the option of Gerrit which puts most of this in a single WAR (not gitweb, though as with gitolite the integration is documented), with a code review workflow on top.

git ;-)
