Another nice thing with the git protocol is that we can keep the repository "interface" constant --- it's always "git://server/repo" for us, even if we have the repo one day at /repos/git/repo, or later decide to move it to /backedup/repos/git/repo. All we have to do is change the git-daemon file and point it at the new repo, and all the developers' origin files need not change. You can do this with symlinks, I suppose, but after the third move, we really appreciated the git mobility and disliked the litter of symlinks:-)
