Hi Mark,
I think a branch on GCC's git repo will be a mirror of the github, but I
think its really important for the project to respect GCC traditions. By
that I mean that we respect patches sent to gcc-patches such that they
are treated with the same respect as PR's on Github.
If for instance a Mailing list on gcc.gnu.org became more active than
github i think at that point i would have to reconsider this, and weigh
up switching the main development over to gcc.gnu.org.
As for the git hooks, is it possible that I amend the hooks within the
gccrs repo .git/hooks folder? Or is this something i need to change in
the GCC repo? Sorry i should really read up more on git hooks in general.
Thanks.
--Phil
