Okay, that's the main thing I was wondering.  I didn't know if somehow
GitHub would consider my repo to be a fork forever-more and that might
somehow have negative side-effects.  I didn't think so, but I figured
it couldn't hurt to ask.

Interesting ... are there advantages to that method over just forking gitpan?
