The full source tree, but not the meta data.

One of the advantages for open source of a DVCS is that if you have an 
issue with the repository that is considered the master copy, you can 
easily declare another hosted instance to be a master copy.

Now sites that want to have more structured control for git use gerrit.

Gerrit can be set to enforce rules on patches being submitted.
