for-old-projects solution works in some cases, but not really for
mine. As a contract developer I often have projects that are under active

I want separate repos for when maintenance needs to happen. Otherwise that one

GitHub better in the long run.

It's a hack of course, but if the changes are really that occasional, the pain
is negligible: all you need to do is to commit twice for every project change
(once for a sub-directory containing the project repo, once for the root
repo).

If a project becomes active again, simply take it out of the master repo and
push it as a new repo.

It's really not that bad. But then again, things change if you have
collaborators...

What does the UI actually look like? Is it just the list of repositories? I'd
be more likely to spend money if there was a tour, or an example project I
could look at, or an annotated example session with the CLI tool.

This is a very desirable use case. For those who don't get it, I'd say the
following:

\- it's nice to use git for all the small side projects one creates, but
putting all of them on github is crazy expensive if you like keeping your
musings private (though not necessarily b/c you're committed to a closed
source ideology :)

\- the cost factor creates an incentive to misuse git (not using submodules
where appropriate) just to save money.

\- There are a lot of awesome Git UI programs that run locally on my laptop,
gitk is one.

\- FWIW his fills the niche between github and gist.
