The picture is strictly one way, like this: Apache svn -> Apache git mirror -> Github git mirror -/-> Private fork If you want to change the Apache upstream you can only do it by directly checking into the Apach svn repo. I don't think you have access to that so you needn't worry. The arrow is broken between the github mirror and your private fork because it doesn't update automatically after the point you make the fork on github. When you push changes to your private fork on github you make those changes public, but only for those that are looking at *your* fork specifically. Hopes that helps. Andrew
