Because this would make it hard to pull and maintain a complete copy 
of the repo to the local desktop. This would invalidate one of the 
strategic benefits of git: No dependence on a central server. A 
hurricane thousends of kilometers away cannot affect access to the 
local copy of the gedasymbols lib. You can safely use it directly for 
current projects. 

This is how I use gedasymbols -- a local copy serves as the actual 
libray to be used by gschem and pcb. That way, there is little 
additional maintainance overhead as opposed to a local production 
library and a seperate lib for contribution on gedasymbols.org.
