We host our project on Savannah and once again, I'm incredibly happy that we use git. Once we figured out who was the last person that pushed, we were able to sync up our repository to another server and keep going as if nothing happened.

If we had been using a centralized revision control system (we used to use SVN on Savannah), it would have been a nightmare.

Not only that. You can also instantly tell if the repo has been compromised thanks to git hashing all its history.
