While I agree that people should create branches in their own forks, I’d also
like to point out that one is not obligated to download everything from a given
upstream repository. For example, if one only cares about master and release
branches from LLVM but not tags or “random” branches, then one can change
.git/config to look like this:
[remote "truth"]
url = https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
tagOpt = --no-tags
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/truth/master
fetch = +refs/heads/release/*:refs/remotes/truth/release/*
