Ok
With git it's a no-brainer to move file around, so if you change your  
mind later ;)

No harm, git should make easy to submit patch in the mean time.

Ok

Well, need to be used to get an idea.
If I didn't mistake git usage :
- if you make a several branch in a network repository, all will be  
pulled when you clone it.
- if you make several clone, developer may keep a single local git  
repository
   - need to be tested :
     http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-remote.html
   - not evident at first sight, need to be clearly documented
   - is a good way to go as you would be able to keep master branch  
closed
   - must not be mistaken as a locking, if developer use only local  
branch, nobody can follow their work. Better to publish all work in  
progress.
   - I don't know if gitorious use RESTful, but it would be cool to  
make a script who make a clone on gitorious and a local branch. (and  
more easy a script to bring a clone as a local branch)

That's why I was thinking that a single clone with many branch would  
have been more easy.
A middle way would be :
   - finish to clean actual git repository
   - make a development clone, and bring every one in it.
       - People making local and shared branch at will.
