@aparrish That feels EXTRAORDINARILY difficult, no? like especially, /every/ commit?
... hmm, in like a Release Notes listing, what might be some examples of "Forkability improvement: ..." the was release notes often have "Feature: ..." or "Bugfix: ..." or "Documentation: ..." ?
@gaditb @aparrish ya, I don't even know how to do this.
I would think every added feature makes this harder.
The easiest thing to fork would be an empty repo, no?
I can get on board with not introducing unnecessary difficulty in forking, but what is necessary is going to always be up to interpretation.
