I'm actually a little torn on this one. I'm fine with keeping the |
9 |
"master" on Gentoo in the sense that this is where the rsync tree gets |
10 |
generated. However, gitbub has a lot of tools like pull requests that |
11 |
could potentially improve workflow, especially for things like proxy |
12 |
maintainers. So, letting those teams work more outside of Gentoo and |
13 |
just push their changes into Gentoo might make sense. |

Perhaps github should be viewed as a widely-shared overlay that gets |
16 |
automatic updates from the main tree in the master branch (or whatever |
17 |
we call it). You can work on a branch in github, get it where you |
18 |
want it to be, and then push it to Gentoo pretty easily. When I don't |
19 |
have access to an upstream repository I often just push a copy to a |
20 |
fork on Github just to make my own life easier. |
