I prefer collaboration over forking.

It started as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859130#5
  "Source code in git getting packaged for Debian"
For me it still is.


I'm aware that am in no position to demand something,
but I do take the liberity to express what I want and don't want.

Wanted:

Upon having a directory with a subdirectory containing the git repo
and another subdir containing the orig tarball should
 git -ur --exclude=.git  git_repo_dir/  orig_tarball_dir/
report _no differences_

Not wanted:

* Binary files like .tar.gz inside a git repo
* Commits on binaries like 
https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/ciforth/commit/2db78aee03e75564e67209075f5ba1cfa14ee944

There was no old sponsor, there is no current sponsor.

There is a wannabe sponsor
who is doing reviews on what is uploaded
to https://mentors.debian.net/package/lina
