One of the benefits of open-source is that you can ensure a copy of the source exists, in the event that something makes the original source disappear.

Gotcha. So the motivating factor was for individuals to get a copy for themselves, perhaps even use it as a form of bookmark overloaded as a backup feature. They'll need to keep pulling if they want to keep it up to date, but I suppose that could be automated.

This is pretty good, now I can ditch my little script

    #!/bin/sh
    git pull upstream master
    git push origin master
