The public git repository is listed on the project's home page:
git.opensource.vmware.com/opensource/open-vm-tools

That's all fine but it doesn't change the fact that we (the team responsible for
Tools) do not own that code nor control all the places where it's built. That's
how the team who owns that code decided to do feature / platform checks, and
it's very unlikely that we'd be able to make changes there.
