How exactly would that help spreading interest (except in github)?

Apart from that: does github have kind of like mob branches by default? 
Because, quite frankly, that's the only reason I contributed anything, 
however small, back to tinycc.  If it hadn't I still would have had fun 
for a weekend fixing tcc, just without anybody gaining anything from it, 
as my patches would have never seen anybody else, and nobody would have 
seen them.

Huh?  So you think google is giving points for github, but not for 
repo.or.cz (the best), or gitorious or any of the others?  Proof?

Doesn't write itself, no matter the VCS.  So how does a new VCS magically 
help?

How exactly easier than today?

Well, I'm not exactly fluent in git (actually I hate its usability, which 
is next to non-existent), but what's difficult with "git checkout -b"?

Aha.
