Yup. We moved FROM subversion to that setup. Subversion was hosted on a beige box from the previous era, it was slow as frack and a ticking timebomb.

Initially, after a git-svn period we set up bare git+ssh on it as a direct replacement but we quickly realised it was annoying and suboptimal, and that we could just set the same thing up decentralised, adjusting our habits for the better.

It's so refreshing to use, everything is a git fetch --all away (including tags), e.g no more "I forgot to push before going on holidays" or otherwise surprise sick leave, we'd just power up the machine and not even log in, sshd would start, git fetch, and power down via the login manager or ACPI event.
