yeah - i'm not really arguing any detail of the GPL here. I'm arguing
the principle: there should be no technical assymetry between maintainer
and contributor. So if i am able to run an effort-free integration of 85
topic branches, i'd like contributors (who will eventually grow up into
co-maintainer roles in the future) to be able to do the same, if they
want to do so.
right now that is simply not possible technically - it's even very hard
to share a .git/rr-cache with a co-maintainer whom i can trust with my
index file. (which is an otherwise unsafe private binary cache that i'd
not put into a public repository as it could in theory contain lots of
unrelated data and is not endian-safe, etc.)
