Yes, technically a mirror is a non-divergent, non-advancing fork. > i mean is there a need for a > seperate clean mirror that does not contain other work? There really isn't much benefit, aside from allowing people who like GitHub to continue using GitHub instead of Gitorious, and also serving as a backup of the repository on Gitorious. Let's get started with Fish development on Gitorious[1] and we can make a "GitHub mirror" later if necessary. I like the fact that a project is treated as its own entity on Gitorious (versus being a subordinate entity of a user account on GitHub) and I am eager to hand off the Fish repository ownership to the Fish development team[2] on Gitorious.
