The whole "Wiki" feature comes to mind. Can I leave and take my project's wiki with me?

Sure, just add .wiki in before .git in the git URL:

> git clone git@github.com:wicketstuff/core.wiki.git

More of a problem would be your issues.

While not the person who asked, this is news to me. Thanks for sharing.

It's very nice. You can use your fav editor and update pages, then push the changes back up and they appear in the wiki.

With a few plugins and some hacking, you can get vim to just browse the wiki too. (I'm currently working on getting my scripts for this into a state that is useful).

Unrelated - there are some plugins to use the github api to browse tickets in vim too.

(note not all of these workflows make sense as a primary way of using them, but they are still useful at times).

Cool. It would be awesome if the git-issues, all repo settings and everything else you might take with you were stored in git as well.

not stored in git (the value of revision history in issues is probably pretty low), but they are accessible via API, and fairly easily exportable [1]

I actually do this in many of my projects using BugsEverywhere [1]. Distributed bug-tracking is great when you're travelling ... or choose to be off-line.
