Gitorious: private mode for projects

How to make a project private in Gitorious? Does Gitorious support this at all? I searched around but couldn't find anything useful, except that Gitorious doesn't seem to have a private mode for projects. Thanks in advance.

This is not possible in Gitorious at the moment / perhaps never. At the moment there is an outstanding merge request but there is no update as to when it will hit the main line (for example, Gitorious.org).

If you need private repositories, you need to host Gitorious yourself - it's easy enough to install, and then make the entire installation confidential.
