Not really, 'fork' means you copy everything from one repo to another, and from then on your repo is totally independent from whatever it was 'forked' from. Maintainer of the 'original' repo can then 'pull' changes, 'merge' them back into his own, then 'push' them to his own repo, from which you can 'pull' all you want... More advanced usage, you can do 'branch' on your repo that you tell people to 'pull' from, and so on.
