Indeed, that's the beauty of Git, that the repositories will all play nicely together, no matter where they're hosted or what the "chain of custody" is, but they do need to come from the "right" source. I just hope that the consensus solidifies around the freebsd.git repo that your.org hosts, rather than the freebsd-head.git one that your.org, github and gitorious all have, because your.org's freebsd.git has *all* of the SVN branches, including releases, vendor branches, user projects, etc., whereas the others only have [variously] -CURRENT or a smattering of release branches.
