You don't want to ask your users for their local backup

Edit: To expand on my comment a bit.

1. You will have to check with every user when they last pulled their repos and/or made any local change and wanted to push it.

2. While your git is offline and you're figuring out which version is the most up to date your users can't do any work with git

3. You just lost all your issues, pull requests, wiki articles and more that isn't stored in git

4. Making backups is your job as a systems administrator and you just failed spectacularly
