W.r.t. the second point I hope with the new firmware for the DR1000 the libs will be the same again and that afterward new firmware will be released for both 1000 and 800 at the same time. But it would be wise to think of it.
The iRex code uses constructions like:
#if MACHINE_IS_DR1000S || MACHINE_IS_DR1000SW
for machine specific code, may be best to align to this.
This gives a list of git hosting sites.
github seems to have some fairly big hitters using it and everyone and their dog/cat seems to be switching from cvs/subversion to git.
I believe KDE is using gitorious.
There is also
googlecode

and sourceforge.

Plenty of choice.

For device detection you have to take into account firmware versioning for the ifdefs, that should be supplied by the autoconf scripts.
As you may have a a DR1000 running v2.0 or v3.0. The user may not have replaced the firmware in order to keep mobi support.
