When someone is trying to help you, then you could take the time to 
actually highlight the information they are seeking?

I was actually trying to politely say that I think YOU are wrong about 
integration and try to draw you out on the specifics so that I can help 
you.  Politely clearly doesn't work for you though...

Look, I'm giving up now.  I would be happy to help out on infrastructure 
if you ever ask in the future - however, at the moment I genuinely don't 
understand the parameters and and you seem unable to describe them 
succinctly. It's clear that your ideal solution doesn't exist, however, 
without you ever actually *describing* your ideal goal I don't think 
others can help you either modify an existing solution to get close or 
choose a new one... (and no, your current hand waving doesn't count as 
properly defining your requirements)

My (unasked for) opinion is that you have twice now demonstrated that 
running on "opensource all the way down to the OS" has left you high and 
dry and when push came to shove you migrated in exactly the same way you 
would have done if you were running on a closed source box...  I 
personally favour opensource options... However, I hate with a passion 
the sh*t "forges" that you seem to be desperate to have a third go with 
(clunky, slow, limited feature sets, gahh).  Github is the first "forge" 
that seems ok to my eye (bitbucket and Gitorious also seem pretty decent 
and to watch).  I'm positive we can get you setup the way you like on 
GH, AND have a solid migration/backup proposal in the event they screw 
you one day.  However, I think you don't want that right now, so I will 
leave you to it.

No bad blood.  Happy to help in the future

Good luck with the migration
