This sounds great for personal projects, but what about open source work? Or if you want to collaborate with more than a few people?

Unless you want those people to have merging rights, collaboration can be easily done with exporting a read-only version of the git repo via http (even a browsable one using cgit). Then anyone can work on their copy, generate patches (git format-patch) and send the files via any means of communication (email, slack,...).

gitlab ultimate (minus support) for free, so long as licenses for all projects are OSI approved.

Yeah this was kind of where I was going. Gitlab is great.
