Yeah I never used that raw `git request-pull` myself.. I guess making it easy to operate over a simple website is what made GitHub so popular :-) The question on making PRs to upstream from external mirrors was more directed to Lup.. because whether its GitHub or GitBox or something else it must land onto the Apache upstream repo and before that it needs to be reviewed as PR and before that probably it needs to be PR'ed on such external mirror :D I was wondering if PR can be easily "forwarded from external mirror to the upstream repo" or needs to be re-created manually based on git commits :-P I dont know it myself and I think it could be good addition to the article :-) Maybe it could be useful information for organizations that prefer to work on local mirror of a project internally for whatever reason, and then just "forward" selected PRs to the upstream when ready :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
