They could all share the same machine, it just makes the apache config
more painful.  Running them on separate machines[1] also gives us nice
isolation and lets us upgrade each on its own as makes sense for it.  It
would also make it so that we could do things like enabling the
cvspserver frontend to git.  I'm not really sold much one way or the
other, though.

I don't think that we want to run it on the same machine as the hosted
frontend, though.

You should be able to at least do 'git clone
git://git.fedoraproject.org/hosted/fedora-infrastructure.git' now.  But
if you're pulling over ssh, the additional /git is necessary due to the
fact that you're ssh'ing and looking at the paths on the filesystem
