I found a simple reason why it's better to duplicate a repo when
moving it into an organization: pull requests go there. If you fork a
repository, as we did from vvs/jruby-launcher to jruby/jruby-launcher,
then forks of your fork will try to send pull requests back to the
originating repository.
In this case, since vvs/jruby-launcher is no longer the canonical
repository for jruby-launcher, I deleted it and recreated it with the
same repo, rather than using github forking.
I recommend we do this for any projects that have their canonical
source in the 'jruby' organization on Github but are currently "forks"
of some other repository, so that pull requests go to the right place.
