There is no indication (that I can see) in the sourceforge repo that the
migration has happened.

Which means if you have an existing clone you can do a "git pull" and see no
updates and just think there are no updates.

What some other projects have done is push a commit to the sourceforge
repository only which says "We've moved to github", so at least folks will see
that when they pull and know that they need to update their remote.

eg. http://sourceforge.net/p/libhugetlbfs/code/ci/680e65dccaee1875cea5004815e7c0790d0b92b8/

In fact they have deleted everything except the README, which would also help
to get folks attention.


And they also have a nice banner across the top of the sourceforge page
mentioning the move has happened, eg:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libhugetlbfs/
