I checked the box and then went on to close PR#134. I got two separate emails shortly after (attached), one about the closure and another about the comment. In my opinion, the default value for the setting in question is broken (it should be "on" by default). However, to me anyway, it's a big plus for GitHub that it actually supports this feature. If we are going to adopt GitHub, then we can highlight the knob in our docs. Regarding GitHub, what remains to be seen (for me) is if & how it preserves old (unmerged) topic branches, and review comments made for them, after the pull requestor rebases or deletes those branches in his/her repo. Can someone please send an artificial/test PR against my personal repo, at <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Flersek%2Fedk2&data=02%7C01%7Cjerecox%40microsoft.com%7C86474d2516054fd6342708d65521acec%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636790000471363695&sdata=ipRDM9x1QQnMSv7PF%2BE7yf3oGg7sBE3mjeqHw9vmyDA%3D&reserved=0>? Just change some lines in OvmfPkg/README or something like that. Thank you!
