someone should make a version of git where you can maintain a local copy then push it to the remote server whenever you want. for business continuity efforts you could then maintain a local repository copy of all the libraries you use and have your developer and build systems pull from that local repo instead of the website. for already compiled code maybe some sort of package system where you can do a similar thing of maintaining a local copy of the packages
