Downvotes are most likely because – if you are already using git – you should just be able to switch over to a local repo?

Depends how his deployment pipeline is plumbed in. If he's dependent on Travis for builds (for example), he can't just switch.

Depending on services from others for your own business without having a SLA is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Along the lines of "two is one, one is none", anything that you don’t own or where you don’t have a SLA has to be considered not existing for a business.

"Move fast and break things." Including your own bones.

People are getting too spoiled by perceived reliability. Internet is not electricity yet. And especially third-party services on the Internet.
