oh, yes, that was one of many mistakes we made early on. As we move to a public release, that is on our list to clean up.

GitHub should tie stars to commit hashes to avoid this sort of crap. Your repos stars is calculated from the started commits that are in this repo but not any it's forked from, on the default branch.

Still prone to abuse from transferring repo to credit somebody else, but the original repo owner would have to sign off on the transfer at least.

I am the original repo owner. I invite you all to try tipe for your selves. Signup
But... you did this intentionally--when it would have been easier and simpler to not do so? Doesn't really fit the mold of "clean it up later" chores.
