Hello,

>  - "git remote update" to fetch new commits/tags/branches from SF,
>  - "git push" (in mirror mode) to update all references on Github.

If SourceForge is not usable for git why not just move to github as
the official git repository?
The project can continue using sourceforge for distributing archives.
