Gitorious

Was thinking of installing Gitorious but it's weird. You run install
as root, it downloads and installs programs, dunno which ones, seems
you don't need to know, but including mysql, and then of all things it
wants you to reboot the host, i.e. it needs a host dedicated to
Gitorious. It seems you can't configure it until there's been an
automatic install, possibly it downloads and runs code that you can't
look at before running it. Maybe I've got that wrong.

Has anyone installed it and can you, pre-installation, configure it to
use pgsql instead of mysql, which we don't want here? Is this
something safe to install, or let install itself? Why mysql? Why so
inflexibly committed to it? (Or isn't that so?) Should the intended
Gitorious server be isolated from your network?
