On the Source tab, the "fork of" link tells you - that is, Rich's don't have
that line, so it is the root.  On the Network Members tab, it shows a tree
of the forks, with Rich at the root.

You can browse all of the data in a repository through the website, so you
shouldn't have to clone.  And you only need to Fork (a github concept, not
git), if you want to push something different to your own public clone.

Ultimately, what matters to GIT is the sha1 commit keys, which tell you a
commit/tree is identical to another or not.  I don't think you can tell
about clones other than by looking at the sha1s or the Fork graphs that
github draws.  The forks graph only tells you about the clones that github
knows about.

And as Alex says, being the root doesn't really mean master, authoritative,
or best.
