It’s quite trivial to add a post-commit hook so that *every* commit to a local repo is immediately (assuming internet connectivity) made available in the public repo. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7925850/how-to-automatically-push-after-committing-in-git for details. It shouldn’t take any manual work at *all* to have a more-locally-accessible copy of the master sources in order to deal with connectivity problems. In fact, the BIRT repo already *is* mirrored at GitHub: https://github.com/eclipse/birt/tree/Kepler and GoogleSource: https://eclipse.googlesource.com/birt/org.eclipse.birt/+/Kepler So if they can do it, it should certainly be possible for others to do so, just the same. None of that removes the requirement put upon committers to make their commits to the master sources at Eclipse.org, rather than to some other, private repository. I hope this helps clarify things. |
