Any details of the DoS or how it was mitigated?
(just blocking the IP?)

Anyways, I've setup some mirrors of git.gcrypt.org repos
which may be interesting to me[1] to fetch twice an hour:

	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/adns.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/gnupg.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/libassuan.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/libgpg-error.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/npth.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/gnupg-doc.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/gpgme.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/libgcrypt.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/libksba.git
	git://80x24.org/mirrors/gnupg/ntbtls.git

Cloning over the dumb git protocol over http:// and https://
also works, and I hope to enable the smart git protocol soon
(and also having an HTML git repository viewer which is
 friendly to terminal browsers :)

I had a few minor ideas to mitigate resource consumption
problems with git-daemon a while back based on my experience
working on HTTP servers, but haven't gotten around to it:

Obviously not an end-all-be-all.  But I've been spending more
time on git-related things this year and trying to improve
the state of self-hosting.



[1] honestly I've never looked at the code to these,
    I subscribed here a while back hoping to work on
    something using gcrypt, but I forget what :x
