We're back to using our own server which achieves a much better uptime than 
github.

Github has never been especially reliable, they had more than their fair share 
of hardware/software faults and they are also a magnet for DDOS and hack 
attacks which  sometimes left our repo inaccessible for hours. Added to that 
their post-commit hooks would regularly fail to fire meaning tickets didn't 
get automatically closed and commit emails were never sent.

At least when our server _does_ go down we have some control and aren't left 
hanging.
