It really matters little where the repo lives. The difference between
e.g. git pull http://github.com/cbagwell/reponame branchname and
git pull http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/users/~cbagwell/reponame
branchname are rather negligible :)

Isolation in two different repos has another advantage: it encourages
feature branches without crowding the main repo. You can have a million
feature branches in your repo but none of them will be visible for those
users cloning from the linuxwacom repo.
same goes for tags of course which can be used to label certain commits.

Cheers,
  Peter
