Not true. Github pull requests are for pulling from other Github |
| 8 |
repos/branches only, and they store unique metadata (e.g. comments, |
| 9 |
issues) outside of the repo. It is truly a lock-in feature. |

"git request-pull" simply formats an email template to tell someone how |
| 12 |
they may pull from you, but Github makes no attempt to process such a |
| 13 |
message or turn it into a Github pull request. |

Any Github presence of the tree will result in Github issues being |
| 16 |
submitted and Github pull requests coming across. We'd have to be |
| 17 |
prepared to chain that into our existing processes or have someone |
| 18 |
dedicated to closing every issue/pull request with "Use bugzie". |
