sure, that sounds like the right operational model. that's effectively what i plan to do with my tree on github. it might be nice to have a central tree on sf.net, which could fetch branches from everybody else's git trees. that way, casual users have a "one stop shop" for all the latest patch queues. i had actually looked at sf.net first, but it wasn't obvious how to create a git tree without creating a project first... scanning the docs, it seems like they have only one git repo per project, and you have to belong to the project before you can do anything. so, it should work well as an aggregation point for the maintainer to fetch and publish branches from all the other git trees, whereever they are hosted. ray
