What is the motivation of this mirror? Backup? It is not clear from github that it is only a mirror, not a competing fork. Having multiple upstream repo is bound to confuse users, and if I may stray into marketing - dilute the oVirt brand. Dan.

I think the motivation is to make it easy for people to use a favorite method for cloning/forking. By maintaining the official mirror, I reckon we make it easier to take patches back in to the main tree.

Agreed that it should not appear to be anything more than a mirror.

Some people like github, some prefer gitorious, other would like a git-to-mercurial front-end. If someone wants to maintain such a mirror, let him. I don't see why I should be involved. But I suppose you know better than me how to grow a community.

I do not see how - currently we disable pushing stuff into git below gerrit. Whatever posted on a remote branch would have to enter and be reviewed by gerrit.

Github provides one of the best locations to draw in additional project visibility and awareness. Carl.
