Hey Rails devs,

We’re in Slovenia (southern Europe) and sometimes we get very slow  
speeds when pulling from the official Rails repository (GitHub). Speed  
can drop down to under 20 KiB/s, and the top I’ve seen is around 300.

I’ve created a mirror on repo.or.cz from which we get a constant ~450  
KiB/s when pulling, which enables us to clone the whole repository in  
around 40 seconds. Consequentially, updates are faster, too. This  
speeds up some development and deployment tasks with vendored Rails  
(the unreleased 2.2 version).

Like every other, the repository on repo.or.cz is public and can be  
used by anyone:

Clone URL: git://repo.or.cz/ruby-on-rails.git  
Web URL: [Public Git Hosting](http://repo.or.cz/w/ruby-on-rails.git)

Keep in mind that this mirror is not supported officially, and that  
the repo.or.cz service is BETA. Use at your own risk. We’re using it  
at our own benefit.

In short: this is the same Ruby on Rails code, just a different  
location on the globe. The mirror is updated hourly.
