Howto Migrate all my Repositories from self-hosted Gitorious to something else?

[Rob T]

What is the easiest quickest way to migrate a repositories on a self-hosted Gitorious web and git server to another git server?

[Rob Townley]

Consider the following notes of what i found simply poking around.  Hope to

export all this and import into another platform.   Any tips appreciated. 

Gitorious consists of more than just a webserver, database, git repository

as can be seen by running the command: ` /usr/bin/gitorious_status `

root@gitorious:~ # /usr/bin/gitorious_status
  GITORIOUS HEALTH CHECKS:
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  * Unicorn                                             [UP]
  * Resque                                              [UP]
  * Nginx                                               [UP]
  * Git-daemons                                         [UP]

gitorious repositories may be "bare" because the
  [core]
      repositoryformatversion = 0
      filemode = true
      bare = true

If anybody else is trying to figure out how to export an old gitorious

server, i hope to document.   Consider the following notes of what I found

poking around.
