You can still link them together by adding Repo A as a new remote in your checkout of Repo B, but by default you do not have permissions to push to it.
If the maintainer of Repo A made you a collaborator you could get a special URL in which you could automatically push. Pushing to Repo B will not necessarily notify Repo A's owner. If you do make a important commit (or series of commits), you can send Repo A's owner a "Pull Request", where you select the owner and explain why they should pull from your fork. +Clint On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 9:14 AM, (Public) Gene M.
