One other question: what about large but simple changes?

For instance, I’m currently working on getting rid of the g_UserUnits global.  It’s going to be several thousand lines of changes, but each one is pretty brain-dead.

This one already has a bug report, so that’s not an issue.  But would you rather have a patch or a pull-request?

Cheers,
Jeff.

Opps, one more:

Can a public repo have an upstream chain of:
   personal-public >> personal-local >> kicad
or does it have to be:
   personal-local >> personal-public >> kicad
