the addonsxmlgenerator.py thing gets its info from scraping the addon.xml of every addon, it can't do this if there are none avaliable (i don't think it can read inside zips, although it could be modded to do that...). and AFAIK, it will only work if it is in the same directory where the addons are stored (put it in /repo, and change the paths in your repofile to match)
because googlecode is where i like to distribute stuff from, and only commit to if i want to release stuff (i also let other people host their addons there), i've also got a gui svn committer that allows me to throw out releases very quickly. i also host a wiki and issue tracker stuff there
whereas i like to keep my git dev repos clean and only contain dev code, because i get confused otherwise.
plus, i also don't want my github dev repo's bandwidth screwed up by people constantly checking out from it. also github offer limited space
and everone knows git is miles better than svn! :p i only use SVN for the very basic http serving that an xbmc repo needs.
PS. you are quite welcome to distribute your addons on anarchintosh-projects, i'll give you owner access
