Private code sharing. You have to install something like gitolite (see my
other comment) to do private code sharing with git on a VPS, or you'd have to
create a system-level user for every person you want to share code with.

Webfaction actually allows you to create a git repo with web interface that
can be shared privately.

It is one of their "one-click" installations and I have been pretty happy with
it for my limited use.

I am currently frustrated with Github's private repository hosting plans. When
I switched from SVN to Git, what was initially one repository became six,
because of Git's "you can't checkout part of a repo" philosophy. So now, I
have to buy a fairly expensive plan even though my usage is pretty small.

Cheers, to you for adding some competition to the marketplace. I hope it
provides some pricing pressure on Github one of these days.
