Hello, OK, I thought that the graph of cloned repositories was oriented, but it seems I was wrong :)
Still, I don't see the "fork of" link, so maybe the person that created its clone did not do it via the fork functionality of github, but rather did it from its [desk/lap]top, and pushed his repo on his personal space at github ? More specifically, I'm talking about http://github.com/kevinoneill/clojure-contrib/tree/master , where I don't see any "fork of" link. Can you explain that to me ?
