 Hi. Would anyone be able to kindly mirror Git repo https://repo. 
 r.cz/r/git/debian.git/ ? The website is no longer available to users in the 
 UK 
 [1]. 
  
 Kind regards 
 -M 
  
 ps. Git package maintainers, if you see this message, https://tr 
 cker.debian.org/pkg/git , would you consider moving the repo to Debian Salsa 
 https://salsa.debian.org/ ? Many Debian projects use Salsa for Git hosting 
 https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa 
  
 > Salsa is a collaborative development server for Debian available at 
 salsa.debian.org (using GitLab). Salsa is supposed to provide the necessary 
 tools for package maintainers, packaging teams and other Debian related 
 individuals and groups for 
 collaborative development.
