[llvm-dev] RFC: Adding a staging branch (temporarily) to facilitate upstreaming (original) (raw)

The downsides of an additional project are small. I can see:

  1. It's not possible to do pull requests from there, because GitHub won't treat it as a fork.
  2. It's still visible to people ( http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142559.html)

In the end I don't have a strong opinion on whether this is a branch or a repository, as long as we move ahead soon.

We could push a "staging/apple" branch there. +1 for a separate repo with a neutral name and "company" branches.

* Unlikely we spam people * Easy to understand from the github page * Invisible to the existing users of llvm-project/llvm * Unlikely to confuse people that have or download llvm (=accidental build of staging/apple) I haven't really seen a downside, though I might have missed something.
