Good to know. With the way our commit policies are structured today (and
these are naturally heavily influenced by the old svn model) github pull
requests are really only going to be useful for people who don't have
commit access / push rights to the canonical repository. Its a much handier
workflow than attaching a patch to a JIRA ticket and something i think we
should really try to promote.
So I think the answer to Michael's original question of "Why do i need my
own fork" has two answers.
1. If you have push rights to the canonical repository the answer is it is
a "good idea" if you like to do large scale feature development. Basically
everything Andrea mentioned in his response.
2. If you don't have push rights to canonical it is a great way to "submit
a patch" that makes it very easy for something who does have push rights to
canonical to review and apply your patch. With all the goodness of a code
review tool built in directly.
