What's completely moronic is that petsc.cs.itt is hosting so many
repositories that are mostly cruft:

Allen-Cahn-2D
Cahn-Hillard-1D
Cahn-Hillard-2D
FMM
FMM-dev
ams-dev
composing-nonlinear-solvers
cudaFMM
dft
dft-fft
dft-log
dft-mg
dft-rfd
externalpackages-old/MUMPS_4.7.3
externalpackages-old/MUMPS_4.9.2

If you look at the repositories left, only tutorials and externalpackages
exist. We can even put the latter here:

https://bitbucket.org/externalpackages

For the private paper repositories, bitbucket gives you an unlimited number
of private repos for free.

Some of Jed's rationalizations are going off the deep end.

You honestly think it's worth keeping repositories around that haven't been
touched in 6 years? How is that not clutter?

Face it, bitbucket has this really stupid feature.


Funny, we say the same thing about your commit messages :-)

I see no upside to bitbucket and hence I only see a downside, so why change?


Do you not remember getting burned by fail2ban while at the Utah (Nevada?)
workshop?

People! *None* of us would have to do *anything* to maintain the server. No
more buying new hard drives, no more accidental shut-downs, *OTHER* people
would fix that stuff.

 Tell me the real reason you want to use bitbucket.


Just to upset you and then laugh when we see you pull your hair out.
