In support of the Forums upgrade, we've incorporating a copy of the upstream phpBB git repo into our Gentoo-hosted repo. However, the "missing Signed-off-by on commit" is interfering with subsequent updates. I understand that a solution is being discussed in bug #685022 where references would incorporate "upstream" in order to be exempt. Would be happy to comply with that; in fact, I was in the process of pushing a new reference consistent with that proposal when I was stymied by the hook. Is it okay to get that hook temporarily disabled on our repo until a permanent resolution is agreed on?
The resolution is to use fork/ namespace for things we're forking off upstream.
Like refs/heads/fork/bla ?
No, like git.gentoo.org:fork/whatever.
I'm arguing for a different approach in bug #685002 but, since git repositories are so malleable, I'm more than willing to work with your recommendation, at least for now. Can this bug stand in for a request for a new repo, named fork/phpbb.git with write permissions for: - john_r_graham - desultory - jmbsvicetto - chiitoo

Bug number corrected above.
Robin suggested that we can disable the hook for the push. However, since we can't disable it for just one repo and the last time we disabled it entirely caused quite a mayhem, I'd prefer if you told me what to push and I would disable it, push and reenable afterwards.
Alas, I became too busy at my day job to successfully pursue this project.
I don't remember what exactly we were doing that would have required this, but at this time I don't see there being a need to fork the upstream repo at all. Most customisation will be (and has already been done) in the styles, unless I forget something but I don't think I am forgetting something right now. :]
