This is not the case right now and even if I do not see a problem. 
Spacegit is like a second local repository and the worst think which can 
happen is that the repository on gitorious has changed. In this case the 
automatically push during the night will fail and the DFKI committer has 
to merge it manually into the one on gitorious which is not necessarily 
a bad think as someone has to look through the code committed by other 
people before it is used by our projects. By the way Git is meant to be 
used as local copy without a central server.
