Dunno - ask them ;-)

Sure, we can do that - and it wouldn't even be *so* bad, since the peculiar 
ways in which Github works requires you to checkout not only your own 
Haiku-fork, but to fetch the master branch from either Github's Haiku mirror 
or the original. One has to do this in order to be able to pull newer 
revisions into your fork repo (and then push those to Github).

If we instruct people to fetch master from git.haiku-os.org, we could drop 
the tags from the Github mirror (since they basically just do harm there). 
The tags would then still be pulled in from the "upstream" master, so they'd 
be available in the local working repository.

cheers,
        Oliver
